document: New AIDS report sets zero new infections goal NEW DELHI -LRB- AP -RRB- -- The United Nations has set an ambitious goal of zero new HIV infections and zero AIDS-related deaths by 2015 as the next stage of the war against the deadly virus , a new report said Friday . The U.N. Secretary-General 's 2011 Report on AIDS highlights new strategies in the fight against the disease and urges universal access to treatment , care and support for those infected with the virus , and an end to discrimination against them . The report , released by the United Nations office in New Delhi , noted an overall global decline in HIV infections , but cautioned against any complacency , noting that every day more than 7,000 people , including 1,000 children , are newly infected by the virus . '' `` The number of people newly infected with HIV declined by 19 percent in the decade before December 2009 , with at least 33 countries experiencing a decline in HIV incidence of at least 25 percent , '' '' the report said . But despite the overall decline , the number of infected people is increasing in Eastern Europe , Central Asia , North Africa and the Middle East and parts of Asia . '' `` No country has escaped the devastation of this truly global epidemic , '' '' the report said in a summary of the 30 years since AIDS emerged as a major health challenge across the world . In those three decades , AIDS has claimed more than 25 million lives and more than 60 million people have been infected by HIV . But health experts , speaking at the function marking the release of the report , said all was not doom and gloom and there was plenty of good news coming from AIDS prevention and treatment programs worldwide .
