None
The United Nations General Assembly on Friday adopted a political declaration at the end of its three-day high-level meeting on AIDS, setting ambitious new targets to end AIDS and charting a new path in the global response for the next five years.
The unanimously adopted declaration set a target of treating 15 million people with life-saving drugs and putting an end to HIV transmission from mother to child by 2015. The new declaration expressed the "urgent need to scale up significantly our efforts towards the goal of universal access to comprehensive prevention, programs, treatment, care and support." (AP)
