It's been 30 years (by 2017) since the first introduction of antiretroviral treatment, and 20 years since the availability of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) for managing HIV infection. Besides reducing mortality and morbidity, HAART can potentially reduce the ongoing transmission of HIV from infected patients through exposures like sexual contacts. This phenomenon contributes to the development of the global HIV strategy of "Treatment as Prevention".

A series of maps show the temporal change of treatment coverage and HIV incidence in 2000-2016. Over time, treatment coverage has increased around the world, while HIV incidence did decline albeit at a slow pace. Geographically the pattern varied from country to country, reflecting that strategic planning is crucial to effectively control the epidemic.

愛滋病毒藥物首次面世至今 (2017年)已30年，而高效抗逆轉錄病毒療法（即雞尾酒療法）也有20年歷史。除了減低死亡率及發病率，雞尾酒療法還可以減低病毒由患者通過性接觸等途徑傳播，這個現象促進了發展「治療達致防疫」的全球策略。

本輯地圖集顯示2000-2016年愛滋病治療覆蓋率及愛滋病病毒感染率的演變。隨著時間，全球各地的治療覆蓋率有明顯上升趨勢，而病毒感染率也呈緩緩下降的現象。由於各國的情況並不一致，必須配合策略性計劃才能有效控制疫情。
