Need for Emphasis on Treatment

AIDS programs in developing countries put toolittle emphasis on treatment, the World Health Organization said Tuesday,asking for more small community-based clinics to be opened to treatHIV-infected people. An estimated 36 million to 46 million people are livingwith AIDS, two-thirds of them in Africa, but only 440,000 people in developingcountries were receiving treatment by the end of 2003, the UN health agencysaid in its annual report.

“Without treatment, all of them will die apremature and in most cases painful death,” the WHOsaid in the 169pageWorld Health Report.

WHO Director General Lee Jong-wook saidcommunity-based treatment should be added to disease prevention and care forsufferers in AIDS programs.

“Future generations will judge our time inlarge part by our response to the AIDS disease,” Leesaid.

“By tackling it decisively we will also bebuilding health systems that can meet the health needs of today and tomorrow.This is a historic opportunity we cannot afford to miss,” he added. Antiretroviral drugs enable people hit by AIDS to livelonger. The annual cost of treatment, which was about $10,000 when the drugswere first developed, has dropped to about $150.

Treatment programs also help AIDS preventionefforts, the report said, citing great demands for testing and counseling wheretreatment has been made available.

Good counseling in turn leads to more effectiveprevention in those who are uninfected, and significantly reduces the potentialfor HIV carriers to pass on the infection, the report said. Since its discoveryin the 1980s, more than 20 million have died of AIDS, mostly in poor countries.
