2. 由于抗逆转录病毒疗法的推广，艾滋病相关死亡人数达到了本世纪的最低水平（94 万人），并且在 2016 年首次下降至 100 万人以下。然而，按照目前的下降速度，仍然无法实现2020 年艾滋病相关死亡人数少于 50 万的目标。2017 年，在 3690 万艾滋病毒携带者中，近60%正在接受治疗，这是一项重要成就，但要实现 3000 万人接受治疗的目标，每年新增接受治疗人数都需要达到 280 万人，而且有迹象表明，治疗人数增长速度正在放缓。
2. Due to the impact of antiretroviral therapy scale-up, the number of AIDS-related deaths is the lowest this century (940,000), having dropped below 1 million for the first time in 2016. Yet, the current pace of decline is not fast enough to reach the 2020 target of fewer than 500,000 AIDS-related deaths. Almost 60 per cent of the 36.9 million people living with HIV (PLHIV) were on treatment in 2017, an important achievement, but to reach the 30 million target, there needs to be an annual increase of 2.8 million people, and there are indications that the rate of scale-up is slowing down.
