Global: World leaders to review progress on HIV/Aids

World leaders began meeting in New York on 8 June to review progress made in the fight against HIV/Aids, 30 years after the pandemic first struck. The joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids (UNAids) says the meeting will also adopt new declarations and commitment to guide and sustain the global Aids response. UNAids says while progress has been made, more work remains to be done in coming years - especially in reducing the number of new infections. Globally, some 7,000 people get infected with HIV daily.
