Target for universal access to HIV medicine is missed

World leaders had pledged to achieve universal access to HIV medication by the end of this year - but that target won't be met. The joint report is by the World Health Organisation (WHO), the UN's AIDS programme and UNICEF.It warns that poorer countries must "substantially ramp up" what they spend on HIV/AIDS.

The report says there have been "hard-won gains" - but it also makes clear how much work remains to be done.
It's estimated 5.25m people in developing counties are receiving vital antiretroviral drugs, to slow down the virus that causes AIDS.
