On the principle that no news is good news, the fact that aids has dropped out of the headlines is surely a good thing.
基于沒有消息就是好消息的原則，艾滋病不再是頭條新聞無疑是一件好事。
Nevertheless, it does no harm for the world to be reminded from time to time that the illness has not gone away.
然而，時常提醒世人這種疾病并沒有消失，這對世界并無壞處。
To that end, UNAIDS and the World Health Organisation,
因此，聯合國艾滋病聯合規劃署（UNAIDS）和世界衛生組織
the international agencies charged with dealing with the epidemic, promote December 1st as World AIDS Day.
這兩所負責處理疫情的國際機構將12月1日定為世界艾滋病日。
This year is the last before the target date for the success of the latest of the agencies' campaigns
今年這些機構最近一次運動取得成功，而今年是該運動目標日期的最后一年，
to roll out the anti-retroviral drugs that both keep those already infected with HIV alive and stop them passing the virus on.
該運動推出了抗逆轉錄病毒藥物，既讓那些已經感染艾滋病毒的人活下來，又能阻止他們把病毒傳播下去。
This particular campaign is called 90-90-90.
這個運動名為90-90-90。
Its aims are that, by the end of 2020, 90% of all those around the world who are infected will know they are infected;
其目標是，截止2020年底，全世界90%的感染者將知道他們已經被感染了；
90% of that group will be receiving sustained anti-retroviral therapy;
其中90%的患者將接受持續的抗逆轉錄病毒治療;
and 90% of those receiving therapy will have had the virus effectively suppressed.
并且90%接受治療的病人將有效地抑制病毒。
The 90-90-90 campaign follows the 3 by 5 initiative, begun in 2003, to put 3m people on the drugs by 2005, and the subsequent target of 15 by15.
90-90-90運動之前有從2003年開始的“3 by 5 initiative”，其目標是，截止2005年，讓300萬人用上藥，并且下階段目標是“15 by15”。
The latest estimate is that 38m people are infected with HIV, so 90-90-90 implies 28m being treated successfully.
最新估計，HIV感染者有3800萬人，因此90-90-90意味著有2800萬人得到成功的治療。
But according to UNAIDS estimates, doing this by 2020 is unlikely.
但根據UNAIDS估計，在2020年完成這個目標是不可能的。
