Countries have to test for HIV at least 90% of their populations and make sure that 90% of HIV positive people are on treatment.
This is one of the bold and ambitious targets set by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/Aids (UNAIDS) at the 20th International Aids Conference in Melbourne, Australia.
UNAIDS has called for an end to HIV/Aids by 2030.
After about three decades of the HIV/Aids pandemic, the United Nations has now called on countries to end the scourge of this disease.
Currently 35 million people are living with HIV globally 2.1 million of them were newly infected with HIV in 2013 alone.
