"At this critical juncture, only resolute action by national leaders can keep the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Asia-Pacific from worsening. Leadership and sustained commitment are crucial if this devastating epidemic is to be overcome. Leaders must:
Close resource gaps,
Back vital prevention programmes and antiretroviral treatment for low income households,
Enable multisectoral responses,
Address absorptive capacity constraints, and
Tackle advanced sub-national epidemics."
