The number of people affected by HIV is bound to increase all over the world, including Asia. This will require an additional effort to cope with the needs of those infected Provision of care and support to people living with HIV/AIDS and to their families will become crucial in decreasing the burden on families and on communities, and consequently on the most affected countries. Provision of care will progressively include the use of antiretrovirals even in resource-limited settings, with support provided by local political commitment and by donors. Therefore, it is necessary that these drugs be properly and rationally used. In this regard the WHO—at all levels— continues to advocate for a larger access toAR Vs and to provide the necessary support to member countries for implementing HIV/AIDS care programmes that include the use of antiretrovirals.
