Summary Annotation The 2006 report on the global AIDS epidemic provides information in the latest developments in the AIDS epidemic and the AIDS response. This special UNAIDS 10th anniversary edition presents country profiles and estimates of the epidemic's scope and human toll. Using data from 126 countries and more than 30 civil society organisations, the UNAIDS report assessed country progress toward the six global targets set in the UN Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS, adopted by 189 UN Member States in 2001. The 2005 targets are based on the goal of halting and reversing the global epidemic by 2015. Progress toward those goals was measured against an agreed set of indicators of action developed by UNAIDS in consultation with member states and civil society. According to new data in the UNAIDS 2006 Report on the global AIDS epidemic the AIDS epidemic appears to be slowing down globally, but new infections are continuing to increase in certain regions and countries. The report also shows that important progress has been made in country AIDS responses, including increases in funding and access to treatment, and decreases in HIV prevalence among young people in some countries over the past five years.
