But nowadays our task is to apply these scientific and technological advances to delivering treatment and prevention strategies to people throughout the world, particularly those in resource-poor nations. Despite the successes in treating HIV/AIDS in the United States and other developed countries, it is clear that efforts to combat the pandemic must be scaled up in Africa, Asia, and other parts of the world where HIV/AIDS exacts its greatest toll.
但是今天我们面临的任务是把这些科技的进展应用到给全世界，尤其是那些身处资源贫乏的国家的人民提供治疗和预防措施上去。尽管我们在治疗HIV/AIDS的问题上已经在美国和其他发达国家取得了成功，但是很显然在HIV/AIDS造成最大危害的非洲、亚洲和世界其他地方，抗击流行病的努力也必须得到大大的加强。事实上，在全世界估计有四千万人感染了HIV病毒；而2006年有大约300万人死于艾滋病。
