Is the universal access goal achievable?
A. Universal access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support is not only achievable, it is a public health and human rights imperative, which has been agreed to by the United Nations member states and international donors. Many nations will meet specific universal access targets (such as PMTCT or ART) by 2010, while many others will meet them in 2011, 2012, and/or subsequent years. The focus of WHO, UNAIDS and others is to ensure that all states meet the goal as early as possible.
