The annual World AIDS Day report from the United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) reports on progress made towards ending the AIDS epidemic during the first year of its fast-track initiative. The fast-track approach requires cities, towns, and communities to analyse their epidemics and focus their resources on evidence-informed, high-impact programmes in the geographical areas and the populations with the greatest need. The report includes a section (pp. 50-66) on voluntary medical male circumcision.
