From the article, “For years, falling HIV rates have made it seem like AIDS could really be eradicated by 2020, but the IAC revealed that goal is fading fast. Last year, the world saw 1.8 million new HIV cases, a far cry from the 500,000 global new diagnoses UNAIDS once hoped we’d reach by 2020. Instead, UNAIDS reports we’re seeing spikes in new HIV diagnoses among key demographics, including drug users in eastern Europe and adolescent girls in sub-Saharan Africa. A recent report by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation fears Zimbabwe, where new HIV diagnoses are down by 49 percent since 2010, could see a reversal because 61 percent of Zimbabweans are under 25 years old, and just “entering the age when they are most at risk for infection.” At this critical moment, the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reports funding for the global fight to end HIV dropped $3 billion between 2012 and 2017”.

compare US to the third world. “total numbers” are irrelavant, as always culture and response vary.
Is it AVOIDABLE?
