A decade ago, fewer than 10,000 people were taking the new generation of antiretroviral drugs that suppress the disease and offer the promise of a normal life. Today, that figure is 200,000, thanks in large measure to generous support from the United States (under its PEPFAR program) and the Global Fund in Geneva.
乌干达是艾滋病流行的中心地带，是艾滋病最先爆发的地方，也是（和非洲其他地区一样）艾滋病发病率最高的地方。但乌干达在防治艾滋病方面做的很好。十年前，只有不到10 000人能够获得新一代艾滋病特效药抗逆转录酶病毒药物从而转危为安。今天，这一数字达到了200 000，这离不开美国（通过其PEPFAR项目）和日内瓦全球基金的慷慨支持。
