Message from Michel Sidibé, Executive Director of UNAIDS, on the occasion of World AIDS Day “Universal Access and Human Rights”, 1 December 2009

On this World AIDS Day we are filled with both hope and concern. Hope because significant progress has been made towards universal access. New HIV infections have dropped. Fewer children are born with HIV. And more than 4 million people are on treatment.
