As a result of falling antiretroviral prices, new sources of international funding and growing political commitment, providing treatment for Africa's HIV-positive citizens is, for the first time, an achievable goal.
IRIN's HIV/AIDS news service, PlusNews, has produced a webspecial, "The Treatment Era: ART in Africa", looking at the key issues of access, delivery and resources.
With over 20 articles, a treatment monitoring database, and exclusive interviews - including UN Special Envoy Stephen Lewis, and treatment campaigner Zackie Achmat - the webspecial explores the challenges, and opportunities, facing the continent as ARVs become more widely available.
"The Treatment Era: ART in Africa" is live at: http://www.irinnews.org/webspecials/ARV/.
