“World Aids Day is an important moment to reflect and commemorate all those who lost their lives to this disease. An opportunity to take stock, an opportunity to reflect on the challenges that we face today, and those that lay ahead, and an opportunity for the world to recommit to ending this disease by 2030 as articulated in the Sustainable Development Goals.”

5. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Bland, Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS):
“We don’t have to think back very far to the 1980s and 90s when infection with HIV was an inevitable death sentence. The good news is that it is no longer the case, if you happen to be lucky enough to live in a place where you will have access to treatment and to care and to services. But we cannot leave this to luck. We need to reaccelerate and fast-track our response, if we are to put all those people that need access to services and treatment actually onto those services.”

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Simon Bland, Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS):
“You heard earlier that the World Health Organization has issued new guidelines that say everybody, everywhere infected with HIV should have immediate access to treatment. So there has been much progress to recognise.”

STORYLINE
On the eve of World Aids Day, the director of UNAIDS in New York warned that despite significant progress towards ending the epidemic by 2030, as articulated in the new Sustainable Development Goals, “this is no time for triumphalism”.
Simon Bland, the Director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), told at a press briefing today (30 Nov) that World Aids Day marked an important moment “to reflect and commemorate all those who lost their lives to this disease.”
He also said the event was an opportunity “to take stock, an opportunity to reflect on the challenges that we face today, and those that lay ahead, and an opportunity for the world to recommit to ending this disease by 2030 as articulated in the Sustainable Development Goals.”
Bland told reporters that HIV was no longer “an inevitable death sentence” as long as you lived in countries where you had “access to treatment and to care and to services. But we cannot leave this to luck. We need to reaccelerate and fast-track our response, if we are to put all those people that need access to services and treatment actually onto those services.”
Pointing to a new report by the World Health Organisation which states that the expansion of antiretroviral therapy has resulted in a stark reduction of AIDS-related deaths, Bland said “there has been progress to recognise.”
However, he warned “this is no time for triumphalism, it’s no time for complacency, AIDS is not over, the job is not yet finished. The progress I talked about is fragile, unfinished and reversible.”
