HIV: See What We See (Full Documentary)

Описание: "It's hard to explain the urgency of the HIV problem to people in other parts of the world. They don't see dramatic images in the media of people dying en masse, like in wars or natural disasters. People with AIDS die slowly, they die unnecessarily, and they often die without any public outcry. I want people to see that HIV/AIDS is not over yet." - Gilles Van Cutsem, MSF doctor, South Africa

Today, 9.6 million people with HIV/AIDS are on lifesaving treatment, antiretroviral drugs cost a fraction of what they used to, many more testing and treatment centres exist, and new models of care are bringing treatment closer to patients. Where people are able to access these services, the number of new infections is declining each year.

These positive achievements have turned what used to be a death sentence into a manageable chronic disease -- for those on treatment.

Yet we cannot forget that the epidemic continues to claim 1.6 million lives each year. Today, according to new guidelines by WHO, more than 18 million people still need to be put on treatment. In many countries in southern Africa, HIV/AIDS remains the number one killer of adults, leaving many children to grow up as orphans. HIV/AIDS continues to destroy lives and communities in a shocking way.

Over the last few years, we hear increasingly that the end of the AIDS epidemic is within reach. But in order to achieve this, further progress cannot be limited or blocked by too slow implementation of effective strategies to fight HIV. There are also worrying signs that the commitment of world leaders to fight HIV/AIDS is stagnating. Important donor institutions face stark funding shortfalls, which prevent the ambition to put more people on treatment.

In some countries affected by the HIV-epidemic, the situation is still critical. A failure to recognise this will put at risk the plans to make treatment available to more people, and will hinder the introduction of measures which have been proven to effectively prevent the spread of disease.
