The HIV infection represents a very clear example of the inequalities in access to health care between rich and poor countries: AIDS is a disease that the Western world can treat and the resource-limited countries cannot. In the world scenario a total of 5 million patients with HIV/AIDS who need treatment have no access to therapy: the estimated treatment coverage is 28% in Sub-Saharan Africa, 19% in Asia and only 14% in low and middle-income countries of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. A broad, multisectorial response at national and international levels is required to guarantee access to antiretroviral drugs for all people with HIV/AIDS who need them.
艾滋病是一种西方世界能够治疗而资源有限国家无法治疗的疾病。在全球范围内，共有500万需要治疗的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者无法获得治疗：撒哈拉以南非洲的估计治疗覆盖率为28%，亚洲为19%，东欧和中亚的低收入和中等收入国家仅为14%。需要在国家和国际层面做出广泛的多部门应对，以确保所有需要的艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者都能获得抗逆转录病毒药物。
