e progress has been made in increasing access to antiretroviral therapy (ART), the efforts still fall short of the UN 3 by 5 Initiative target of providing treatment to three million people living with HIV in the developing countries by the end of 2005.

By June 2005, only about 1 million people globally were receiving ART in developing countries. In Asia, the number of people receiving treatment increased by 50% in the first half of the year to 150,000, covering roughly one in seven of those who need it.
