NIH leaders outline strategy for controlling and ultimately ending the HIV/AIDS pandemic

July 19th, 2010

WHAT:
According to a new editorial, the world can control and ultimately end the HIV/AIDS pandemic through a three-pronged strategy that

Significantly expands HIV testing and the availability of antiretroviral therapy
Cures a sizeable proportion of HIV-infected individuals, so they no longer need lifelong antiretroviral therapy
Prevents new HIV infections through greater availability of previously proven strategies as well as a new generation of HIV prevention tools

The authors explain why these three elements are necessary for ending the pandemic, and how each element—though challenging—could be tackled through a concerted global effort.
