After creating a spectacular milestone back in 2000, the International Aids Conference was back in Durban for the year 2016, with yet another set of goals and objectives. This time it was even more focused on how HIV and AIDS is become deadlier and spreading wider in the African continent and the international news has been buzzing about it ever since. A number of scientific experts and social-workers collaborated on this platform in Durban to inform us that there has not been much progress after the last conference was held. Even though since then there have been almost 17 million people who have been receiving treatment using drugs, a larger population of 36 million still remains untreated and not within the reach of drugs.
This conference on HIV and AIDS was attended by thousands of delegates as well as media journalists and it lasted for an entire week at the Inkosi Albert Luthuli International Convention Centre in Durban.
The director of World Health Organization (WHO), Margaret Chan, who was present at the conference further stated that even though the progress made to eradicate HIV and AIDS so far is a huge achievement itself, if the world intends to end this disease by the year 2030, the overall efforts being made need to be intensified and speeded up. It’s about time we do something about this, which is why this event became an important news in the world today.
The deputy executive director at UNAID further expressed disappointment and anxiety over the lack of donor funding needed to combat HIV.
Even though in the past few years, there have been quite many positive outcomes of researches based on the cure for HIV and AIDS and along with drugs, many other innovations have been presented to women in specific so they can protect themselves from it. All of this was included in the discussions at the conference in Durban but it was also realized that the major obstacle in this aspect would be the inability to keep them within reach for people on a routine basis.
