28 Summary 1. Continuing decline of AIDS related deaths. 2. We are on track in preventing MTCT 3. Improving testing coverage for KPs- MSM and FCSW 4. New infections are not declining. 5. Increase in new infections among men and young people. 6. Many countries are not practicing test and treat. 7. Treatment coverage is low 8. Many who have started treatment (maybe 30%) are not adhering/loss to follow up 9. Viral suppression rates are inadequate to break the chain of transmission 10.More needs to be done to reach and test young people
