With the theme “Close the gap – for an AIDS-free generation.” the World AIDS Day 2014 is celebrated worldwide. The campaign aims to continue the expansion of coverage of prevention, care, support and treatment measures for all people living with HIV/AIDS, and to identify and close the gaps in healthcare and diagnosis. The ambitious goal proposed is to control the HIV epidemic by 2030. For this, the countries should engage increasingly in implementing combined strategies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment for all carriers of the HIV virus.
