World 'not on track to end AIDS by 2030,' say experts at International AIDS Conference

"The world is not on track to end AIDS by 2030," says Winnie Byanyima, executive director of UNAIDS, speaking at a press conference at the start of the 25th International AIDS Conference in Munich. Byanyima's assessment comes despite some progress being made, with "77 percent" of people living with HIV now on treatment, compared with just "47 percent" in 2015.

00:00The data shows progress. Nine years ago, only 47% of people living with HIV were on treatment.
00:09Today, that figure is 77%, so a 30% increase in getting people on treatment in the last nine years.
00:21But the world is not on track to end AIDS by 2030.
00:27A person dies from HIV-related illness every minute. It's still a crisis.
00:35One is to resource the response. The HIV response globally is short of $9.5 billion.
00:45This gap keeps increasing.
