1. The International Development Targets pertaining directly to health are that by 2015: the rate of maternal mortality should be reduced by 75 per cent, access to reproductive health care through primary health care systems should be universal, and infant and under-flve mortality should be reduced by two-thirds. ICPD+5 added a new global goal: HIV infection rates in 15 to 24 year olds should be reduced in the most affected countries by 25 per cent by 2005, and prevalence in this age group should be reduced globally by 25 per cent by 2010.
2. Some propose that the differing results of the impact of STD control on new HIV infections (efficacious in Mwanza and not in Rakai) were caused by the different baseline levels of HIV infection in the populations studied, as well as the different treatment approaches tested. Researchers from the two studies are now exploring the differing results. See: - Gray RH et al., 1999. Relative risks and population attributable fraction of incident HIV associated with symptoms of sexually transmitted diseases and treatable symptomatic sexually transmitted diseases in Rakai District Uganda.
