SOUNDBITE (English): Dr. Peter Ghys, Manager of Epidemic Monitoring and Prevention Policy, UNAIDS:\u003cbr/\u003e\"The region of sub-Saharan Africa remains the most affected region in the world with around 24.5 (m) million people living with HIV.  In certain regions or sub-regions within sub-Saharan Africa you actually have countries where there is a evidence that epidemics are still growing. This is particularly true for countries like South Africa, Swaziland and Mozambique. Outside Africa it is also recognised that there are other regions where it is recognised that the epidemic is still expanding. This is the case for Eastern Europe and Central Asia and it is also true for several countries in East Asia.\"\u003cbr/\u003e13. Pan across speakers at news conference\u003cbr/\u003eA UN report released on Tuesday suggests that although some progress has been made in fighting the global spread of HIV/AIDS, the epidemic is still expanding in some countries.\u003cbr/\u003eNew data released on Tuesday shows that India now has the largest number of people living with HIV/AIDS. \u003cbr/\u003eWith an estimated 5.7 (m) million infections, it has surpassed South Africa's 5.5 (m) million.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the epidemic still remains at its worst in sub-Saharan Africa, where per capita rates in several countries continue to climb - a third of adults were infected in Swaziland in 2005.\u003cbr/\u003eUNAIDS on Tuesday launched a 630-page report that takes stock of where the world currently stands with nearly 40 (m) million people living with HIV/AIDS.\u003cbr/\u003eIt documents countries' progress and failures, and projects what must happen to keep some regions from experiencing disaster. \u003cbr/\u003eDr. Purnima Mane of UNAIDS, said on Tuesday that although \"some progress\" had been made in terms of access to treatment, the picture across the world remained \"very uneven.\"\u003cbr/\u003eShe also warned that action needed to be taken to \"stem the tide of new infections\" otherwise there would be no chance of treating the increasing numbers of people infected.\u003cbr/\u003eThe report was released a day ahead of a High Level Meeting on AIDS in New York, a week prior to the 25th anniversary of the first documented AIDS cases on June 5, 1981.\u003cbr/\u003eOne of the most disturbing findings was how few babies were being protected against infection. \u003cbr/\u003eOnly nine percent of pregnant women in poor countries are receiving services, such as access to drugs, to help prevent mother-to-child transmission, despite a UNAIDS goal of 80 percent coverage.\u003cbr/\u003eWomen's vulnerability to the disease continues to increase, with more than 17 (m) million women infected worldwide - nearly half the global total - and more than three-quarters of them living in sub-Saharan Africa, the report found.\u003cbr/\u003eStigma and discrimination also still plague those infected with the virus worldwide, and young people's knowledge about HIV/AIDS remains low with less than 50 percent having adequate information about the disease - a far cry from the 90 percent target UNAIDS set for 2005.\u003cbr/\u003eDr. Peter Ghys from UNAIDS said the situation in sub-Saharan Africa remains dismal, where 24.5 (m) million people were infected and home to nearly 90 percent of the world's children living with the virus.\u003cbr/\u003e\"In certain regions within sub-Saharan Africa you actually have countries were there is a evidence that epidemics are still growing,\" said Ghys.\u003cbr/\u003eSouth Africa remains one of the world's most tragic situations with nearly one in three pregnant women testing HIV-positive in public antenatal clinics in 2004. \u003cbr/\u003eNearly 19 percent of adults were infected nationwide last year and the per capita rate is continuing to climb.\u003cbr/\u003eBut some of the new numbers do offer a small sliver of hope. \u003cbr/\u003eKenya and Zimbabwe, along with some cities in Burkina Faso, reported declines in the overall percentage of adults infected. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Asia-Pacific region is also a concern with 8.3 (m) million people infected, the second-highest after sub-Saharan Africa.\u003cbr/\u003eEastern Europe and Central Asia have also become a new front where infections have expanded as people have access to more money and have started buying injecting drugs - instead of just shipping them through - from countries like Afghanistan.\u003cbr/\u003eCurrently, about 1.3 (m) million people in poor countries have access to antiretroviral treatment, but about 80 percent still are not receiving drugs.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
