[Guest guest]

UNAIDS announces new treatment strategiesUNAIDS is proposing a new treatment plan -- named Treatment 2.0 -- using combined drug therapies to help block the transfer of infections and prevent 10 million HIV/AIDS deaths by 2025. Under the plan the number of people receiving antiretroviral drug therapies would jump from 5 million to 15 million. UNAIDS is also revising its treatment policy for HIV-infected individuals in the hopes that earlier intervention will promote better disease management and fewer hospitalizations.
