[Graphic News] Over half of people with HIV being treated

For the first time, more than half of all people with HIV are on drugs to treat the virus, said the United Nations.

According to a UNAIDS report in 2016, 19.5 million of 36.7 million people with HIV had access to treatment, while AIDS-related deaths fell from 1.9 million in 2005 to 1 million in 2016.

The death toll from AIDS has dropped in recent years, due to the availability of affordable, life-saving drugs.
