| The global AIDS response has steadily grown and gained momentum since UN Member States made a Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS at the 2001 Special Session of the UN General Assembly. This momentum has occurred within wider efforts to place countries more firmly in command of their own development programmes. Based on these developments, UNAIDS is facilitating a multi-partner, country-driven effort to scale up towards Universal Access. Download this publication |
| The commitment to scaling up towards universal access (UA) is not a target itself. Rather it emphasizes urgency, quality and equity, and involves the development of a comprehensive package of prevention, treatment, care and support relevant to each country. In such a context, the use of specific targets can help countries define and prioritize their efforts in relation to coming as close as possible to universal access by 2010.

| It is believed that HIV prevalence in Timor Leste is currently low. However HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact on other countries in comparable circumstances to Timor Leste. Among Timor Leste’s nearest neighbors Papua New Guinea appears to be in the early stages of a generalized HIV epidemic which threatens to not only halt, but reverse the development achievements that nation has made in its relatively short history. Many of the circumstances that have led to the current HIV situation in Papua New Guinea are also present in Timor Leste including large scale social dislocation and high levels of HIV related risk behaviors.
