Developing countries are being urged to stay on track in the fight against HIV and AIDS or else the epidemic will "explode"

That's according to the UN Joint Programme on HIV and AIDS or UNAIDS.

Over the last decade, the number of new HIV infections has gone down by 20%. But donor fatigue coupled with a global apathy when it comes to HIV and AIDS could threaten this progress.

Patrick Maigua has been speaking to UNAIDS deputy director Paul De Lay.
