[What's new in HIV in 2014?].

The latest UNAIDS GAP report suggests the end of the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030 based on the progress in the fight against the disease during recent years. While the number of new infections and deaths related to HIV has decreased globally, more than half of people living with HIV do not know that they are infected with the virus. HIV testing and early initiation of antiretroviral therapy are both crucial elements in transmission prevention. Many treatment regimens are now available with new fixed dose combinations and new drugs that are better tolerated and with fewer drug interactions. A world without HIV will be possible only with an effective vaccine and cure--these are still hypothetical--and will require removal of societal, economical and political barriers.
