The Malawi Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (MANET+) has called on world leaders to fully replenish the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. The call was made during a Press Briefing organised by MANET+ ahead of the world leaders Summit at the United Nations Headquarters in New York., United States of America (4—5 October 2010) to decide the replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria..
In 2001 the United Nations General Assembly committed to achieve universal access to HIV treatment, prevention, care and services by 2010. Today increasing access to treatment has saved millions of lives, and substantial increases in HIV prevention and treatment efforts are making an impact on the epidemic in many countries (1). However, still only 36 percent of people living with HIV in need of treatment are receiving it (2). To really change the global epidemic the scale up of treatment access, in combination with other prevention methods, must be sustained.
The message was loud and clear: “Go and get tested for HIV because you have the right to know your status”, says Honourable Nicholas Dausi, MP, Deputy Minister in the Office of President and Cabinet (OPC). 
The Malawi Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS (MANET+) has learnt with great shock the revelation that government drugs including antiretroviral drugs are being sold on the open market by vendors in some parts of the country. We are, however, happy to hear that some of the vendors involved in the malpractice have already been arrested by the police.
Human rights??? Yes, human rights are at the centre of the HIV epidemic.
