4. TARGET 6.A:
HAVE HALTED BY 2015 AND BEGUN TO
REVERSE THE SPREAD OF HIV/AIDS
New HIV infections fell by approximately 44 per
cent between 2000 and 2013.
Globally, an estimated 35 million people were still
living with HIV in 2013.
More than 75 per cent of the new infections in 2013
occurred in 15 countries.
Worldwide, an estimated 0.8 per cent of adults
aged 15 to 49 were living with HIV in 2013.
5. TARGET 6.B:
ACHIEVE, BY 2010, UNIVERSAL
ACCESS TO TREATMENT FOR
HIV/AIDS FOR ALL THOSE WHO
NEED IT
By June 2014, 13.6 million people living with
HIV were receiving antiretroviral therapy
(ART) globally, an increase from 800,000 in
2003.
In 2013 alone, the number of people
receiving ART rose by 1.9 million in the
developing regions.
ART averted 7.6 million deaths from AIDS
between 1995 and 2013.
Antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV were
delivered to 12.1 million people in developing
regions in 2014
8. TARGET 6.C:
HAVE HALTED BY 2015 AND
BEGUN TO REVERSE THE
INCIDENCE OF MALARIA AND
OTHER MAJOR DISEASES
Between 2000 and 2015, the substantial expansion of malaria
interventions led to a 58 per cent decline in malaria mortality
rates globally.
Since 2000, over 6.2 million deaths from malaria were averted,
primarily in children under five years of age in Sub-Saharan
Africa.
Due to increased funding, more children are sleeping under
insecticide-treated bed nets in sub-Saharan Africa.
Tuberculosis prevention, diagnosis and treatment interventions
have saved some 37 million lives between 2000 and 2013.
10. WHO HAS IDENTIFIED SIX OPERATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR
2014–2015 TO SUPPORT COUNTRIES MOST EFFICIENTLY
IN MOVING TOWARDS THE GLOBAL HIV TARGETS.
Strategic use of ARVs for HIV treatment and
prevention.
Eliminating HIV in children and expanding access
to paediatric treatment.
An improved health sector response to HIV among
key populations.
Further innovation in HIV prevention, diagnosis,
treatment and care.
Strategic information for effective scale up.
Stronger links between HIV and related health
outcomes.
11. WHO-RECOMMENDED STRATEGIES TO
TACKLE MALARIA INCLUDE:
Prevention with long-lasting insecticidal nets and
indoor residual spraying.
Diagnostic testing and treatment with quality-
assured anti-malarial medicines.
Preventive therapies for infants, children and
pregnant women.
Tracking every malaria case in a surveillance
system.
Scaling up the fight against emerging drug and
insecticide resistance.
