AB  - The World Health Organization estimates that at the end of 2015, approximately 
      36.7 million people were living with HIV worldwide. An estimated 0.8% of adults 
      aged 15-49 years are infected with HIV with women representing a little over half 
      of these infections. The burden of the epidemic varies considerably between 
      regions of the world and within countries. Sub-Saharan Africa is the region of 
      the world with most infections accounting for approximately 70% of people living 
      with HIV. In the United States the number of new infections decreased by 19% 
      between 2005 and 2014 yet, close to 40,000 new infections occurred in 2015 and, 
      as people with HIV live longer and new infections continue, the number of people 
      living with HIV in the US now stands at nearly 1.2 million and continues to rise. 
      Unprecedented funding initiatives for antiretroviral therapy have resulted in 
      coverage of up to 46% of those in need globally. In recent years, studies have 
      demonstrated that HIV-infected persons who are on antiretroviral therapy and 
      suppressed do not transmit HIV thus the United Nations AIDS Program (UNAIDS) 
      initiative of "treatment is prevention". The UNAIDS goals for 2020 are to have 
      diagnosis of 90% of those infected, 90% of those infected will be on treatment 
      and in 90% there will be viral suppression. Of note, for two of the goals, 
      laboratory system strengthening is paramount.
