The Tipping Point: Moving From Rhetoric to Real Milestones for Ending AIDS

One way to measure progress in fighting AIDS is to compare the number of new HIV infections with the increase in HIV positive people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) over a given time period. An AIDS epidemic reaches its “tipping point” when the number of annual new HIV infection falls below the annual increase in patients starting ART. This poster was presented at the 2014 HIV Research for Prevention Conference in South Africa.
