1) According to UNAIDS 2009 AIDS Epidemic Update, there is an eight-year trend that shows new HIV infections down by 17%, the most progress has been seen in sub-Saharan Africa where the number of new infections is approximately 15% lower. This translates to about 400,000 fewer infections than in 2008. This update includes nine priority areas that UNAIDS selected, which will guide future investments and mobilize focused, concerted action to reduce the spread of HIV. UNAIDS stresses that reducing and preventing the violence perpetrated against women and girls will lead to fewer infections as well as other health issues.
