This week’s cover: thirty years on it looks as though AIDS can be beaten, if the world has the will to do so.

Not long ago, many believed that people living with HIV/AIDS could not be treated, that it was too complicated, too expensive. That notion has been proven wrong, as millions of people still alive thanks to treatment can attest.
Now, as world leaders gather at the United Nations for a global summit on HIV/AIDS, hanging in the balance will be the lives of the 10 million people who urgently need treatment. The latest science tells us that treating HIV not only saves lives, but also dramatically reduces—by 96 percent—transmission of the virus from one person to another.
Experience and research has shown we can both treat the virus and prevent it from spreading. What’s needed is the political will, the resources, and the commitment.
Join us in calling on world leaders to treat AIDS and #StopTheVirus.
