The 2008 Report on the global AIDS epidemic, prepared by UNAIDS and its Cosponsoring agencies, is the most comprehensive report on the response to AIDS. It uses data from 147 countries against 25 core targets set in the UN declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS adopted in 2001, and the political declaration adopted at the 2006 High Level Meeting on AIDS. The information presented in the report enables readers to assess progress made since 2001 and identify the strengths and weaknesses of the AIDS response to date. The report was launched in New York on 29 July 2008.
The text of the report and the Media Kit are available at the site of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS
