Improvements in the field of HIV/AIDS care and treatment have been undeniable and impressive over the past 10 years. However, 9 million people across the world in need of urgent treatment still do not have access to this life-saving care. Despite this, some international donors are now capping or even reducing their funding for HIV drugs.

But now, more than 4 million people around the world are being treated with antiretrovirals or ARVs, an effective form of treatment that allows HIV patients to live a long and healthy life.
