Executive Summary
Dear Power of Love Friend: Happy July! UNAIDS has set an ambitious goal: to end AIDS by 2030. This can be achieved if 73% (compared to 25-37% today), of all people living with HIV are on medication.
Dear Power of Love Friend: Happy June! We are happy to report that we are winning the fight against malaria. Globally, there has been a 21% decrease in malaria incidence, and a 29% decrease in malaria mortality over the last five years. This has been possible largely due to better access and use of long lasting insecticide treated nets in sub-Saharan Africa.
