1. 全球抗击艾滋病毒行动已经到达紧要关头。距离实现 2020 年目标仅剩下一半的时间，目前的进展速度与宏伟的全球目标相去甚远。全球新增艾滋病毒感染病例数量在过去 7 年中仅下降了 18%，从 2010 年的 220 万例下降到 2017 年的 180 万例。尽管 2017 年新增感染病例数量较 1996 年所达到的最高数值减少了将近一半，但按照这种减少速度，仍然不能在 2020实现新增病例数量少于 50 万的目标。非洲东部和南部是受艾滋病毒影响最为严重的地区，这里的新增艾滋病毒感染病例数量的降幅最大，自 2010 年以来已经减少了 30%。然而，新增艾滋病毒感染病例数量在大约 50 个国家仍然呈上升趋势。在过去 20 年中，东欧和中亚的每年新增艾滋病毒感染病例数量增加了一倍，而中东和北非的新增艾滋病毒感染病例数量则增加了四分之一以上。
1. The global response to HIV is at a precarious point. At the halfway point of the 2020 targets, the pace of progress is not matching global ambition. Globally, new HIV infections have declined by just 18 per cent in the past seven years, from 2.2 million in 2010 to 1.8 million in 2017. Although this is nearly half the number of new infections compared to the peak in 1996 (3.4 million), the decline is not quick enough to reach the target of fewer than 500,000 by 2020. The reduction in new HIV infections has been strongest in the regions most affected by HIV, Eastern and Southern Africa, where new HIV infections have been reduced by 30 per cent since 2010. However, new HIV infections are rising in around 50 countries. In Eastern Europe and Central Asia, the annual number of new HIV infections has doubled, and new HIV infections have increased by more than a quarter in the Middle East and North Africa over the past 20 years.
