The end of AIDS?
The results of a huge clinical trial published in May prove that if people living with HIV receive antiretroviral treatment, it prevents the spread of the virus to their partner.
When coupled with a combination of other effective prevention, treatment and care efforts it gives us the chance to begin to bring an end to AIDS.
Watch the Stop AIDS Campaign video to find out more.
