In mid-2002, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that some six million people with HIV/AIDS in developing countries are currently in need of life-sustaining antiretroviral (ARV) therapy, but that only 230,000 have access to these medicines, half of whom live in one country, Brazil. The WHO believes that, with a concerted international effort to expand access to HIV treatment and care, three million people could have access to ARVs by the end of 2005. A number of recent initiatives provide some useful tools toward reaching this goal.
2002年年中，世界卫生组织（WHO）估计，发展中国家目前约有600万艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者需要维持生命的抗逆转录病毒（ARV）疗法，但只有23万人能够获得这些药物，其中一半生活在一个国家，即巴西。世卫组织认为，通过国际社会的共同努力扩大艾滋病毒治疗和护理的可及性，到2005年底可能有300万人能够获得抗逆转录病毒药物。最近的一些倡议为实现这一目标提供了一些有用的工具。
