This R&D provides resources on the global fight against HIV/AIDS. The United Nations (UN) reported in December that AIDS deaths have fallen 35% since 2004 and infection rates have declined by 38%, but they warn that there more needs to be done to eradicate the virus. Currently, more than thirty million people in the world have HIV/AIDS, with 70% of that population residing in sub-Saharan Africa. Medical researchers are optimistic that they can find a cure for the virus, but the UN warns that countries need to contribute more funds to prevention and assistance efforts.
