Asia/Pacific, News & Politics

 In the past 12 months, HIV advocates at the world level have been talking about the ‘end of AIDS’ and HIV positive people globally being able to access the right treatment to enable a full life.  But are they talking too soon given some alarming trends being seen in parts of Asia.
