UN meeting to study HIV progress
Africa is worst hit by HIV
The United Nations is hosting a special conference in New York to discuss progress on combating HIV.
The meeting is one of the biggest of its kind since the UN General Assembly set out an ambitious set of goals for tackling the virus in 2001.
The meeting will discuss how best to achieve a commitment made at last year's G8 Summit to give access to HIV drugs to all who need them by 2010.
Next week marks the 25th anniversary of the first documented case of Aids.
Last year 3 million people died with Aids and for every five people in the developing world who need HIV drugs, only one person gets them
Nick Partridge
A report by UNAIDS released on Tuesday estimated that 38.6m people are living with HIV worldwide.
India now has the largest number of people infected with HIV, but the worst hit region remains sub-Saharan Africa.
In total 180 governments will be represented at the three-day conference.
The first two days will be given over to speakers from across the world who are working on the front line to try to limit the spread of the virus.
The conference will end with a political declaration on the best way forward.
Funding call
Dr Peter Piot, the head of UNAIDS, said he hoped the conference would result in new commitments for longer-term aid, not just year-by-year contributions.
He said that from 2008 approximately US$20bn was needed if HIV was to be successfully tackled around the world.
HAVE YOUR SAY
In Africa provision of drugs alone is not the panacea to solving the HIV/Aids pandemic

He said: "We are reaching a critical mass in terms of improvements in funding, political leadership and results on the ground, from which global action against Aids can and must be greatly accelerated."
However, Simon Wright, head of the HIV and Aids campaign run by the UK charity Action Aid, said world leaders had yet to demonstrate they were serious about universal access to drugs and treatment.
He said: "This is a massive undertaking and cannot afford another five years of missed opportunities."
Nick Partridge, chief executive of UK HIV charity Terrence Higgins Trust, said progress had been made on tackling HIV - but there was still much to do.
"Last year, three million people died with Aids. And for every five people in the developing world who need HIV drugs, only one person gets them.
"We need widespread prevention programmes and a greater commitment from governments and pharmaceutical companies to making anti-retroviral drugs widely available. Without this we're fighting a losing battle."
