On World AIDS Day people from around the globe come together in solidarity with people living with HIV to raise awareness about the disease and to urge governments and leaders to fulfill their promises to do what it takes to halt and reverse the spread of the disease.2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day.Together with its partners,the World AIDS Campaign set this year's theme for World AIDS Day as "Lead - Empower - Deliver",building on last year's theme of "Take the Lead".Designating leadership as the World AIDS Day theme for 2007 - 2008 provides an opportunity to highlight both the political leadership needed to fulfill commitments that have been made in the response to AIDS - particularly the promise of universal access to HIV prevention,treatment,care and support by 2010 - and celebrating the leadership that has been witnessed at all levels of society.2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day.Since 1988,the face and response to AIDS has greatly changed.While many of these changes are positive,this anniversary offers us an opportunity to highlight how much more still needs to be done.For example:Leaders in most countries from around the world now acknowledge the threat of AIDS,and many have committed to do something about it.As of 2007,nearly all countries have national policies on HIV.However,despite these policies,most have not been fully implemented and many lack funding allocations.While treatment for HIV and AIDS has improved and become more widespread since 1988,many still do not have access to it – in 2007 only 31% of those in low- to middle-income countries who need treatment received it.Despite HIV awareness now reaching nearly all areas of the globe,infection rates are still happening 2.7 times faster than the increase in number of people receiving treatment.While the number of countries protecting people living with HIV continue to increase,one third of countries still lack legal protections and stigma and discrimination continues to be a major threat to universal access.More broadly,real action on HIV and AIDS and human rights remains lacking.Legal barriers to HIV services still exist for groups such as women,adolescents,sex workers,people who use drugs,and men having sex with men,and programmatic responses promoting HIV-related human rights have yet to be prioritised.Twenty years after the first World AIDS Day,we have come a long way.Leadership at both the international and national levels has generated the resources to build treatment and prevention programs that are saving lives and showing evidence of impact on the disease.Millions of people have benefited thanks to these efforts.However,the latest UNAIDS report on the global AIDS epidemic shows that HIV/AIDS is still a major health burden.We must all continue our work to prevent the disease from spreading further,to make sure that people living with AIDS have access to treatment and care and to ensure that resources are available to deliver on the promises of the international community.
