Durante la última década, la Guerra global contra el SIDA ha logrado enormes éxitos, notablemente por proveer medicinas a millones de personas infectadas en países en vía de desarrollo, quienes hubieran muerto sin el tratamiento que puede prolongar sus vidas. Ahora esta campaña es insuficiente.

The global war on AIDS has racked up enormous successes over the past decade, most notably by providing drugs for millions of infected people in developing countries who would be doomed without this life-prolonging treatment. Now the campaign is faltering.

Donations from the United States and other wealthy countries have leveled off while the number of people infected with H.I.V., the AIDS virus, grows by a million a year. By one informed estimate, only $14 billion will be available of some $27 billion needed this year to fight the disease in the developing world. Fewer than 4 million of the 14 million people who need immediate drug treatment are receiving it — far short of the goal of universal access set by the United States and others.
