Some of the world's leading AIDS experts have stated that a turning point has arrived in HIV/AIDS infection and added, "We are at a crossroads in the global response to Aids. We are well on our way to breaking the trajectory of the epidemic."

The United Nations Aids agency, UNAIDS, reports that a decline has been witnessed in young people getting infected with the virus in country's that are worst hit.

But good news also gets a bad news and it is that in 2008 about two million people died of AIDS and presently over 33 million people are living with HIV and Aids.

Michel Sidibé, head of UNAIDS, the United Nations body charged with combating the epidemic, states that it is more important to be honest and figuring out that who is at risk.

There was a change seen in a Canadian province when treatment was ramped up. This was stated by Julio Montaner, a researcher at the University of British Columbia.

It might be a reality that HIV/AIDS infections have declined but infections related to other sexually transmitted diseases are just the same. Youngsters are still injecting drugs using dirty needles and more awareness is needed to weed out the infection.
