But even this rapid growth in treatment has not kept pace with the rate of new infections: an estimated 11 million people should be receiving treatment but aren't, and more than 2 million people become newly infected each year," the blog writes, citing the journal's coverage of the topic in the November/December 2009 issue (Fleming, 5/19).
