The prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Yemen is very low with only 318 new cases reported in 2009, meaning that only an estimated 0.14% - .2% of the population suffer from the disease. However, official statistics shows that the number of reported cases are increasing. This low prevalence rate also means that the government has turned a blind eye to HIV/AIDS since it is not a primary health issue. The public in Yemen is largely uneducated about the disease and condom usage is very low given the strong religious background of the society. If this does not change, Yemen can see an explosion in the number of HIV/AIDS cases being reported in the coming years. There is also a huge amount of stigma associated with HIV/AIDS and infected people are usually shunned. This also means that there could be many unreported cases and a higher percentage of the population is infected. It is unlikely that Yemen will achieve target 6.A because of the large stigmatization associated with the disease, lack of appropriate financial resources, and a lack of awareness about the disease. People in rural areas also do not have access to the necessary antiretrovirals that are needed for them to stay healthy. Malaria, Polio and Tuberculosis have been brought under control and are now virtually nonexistent after a series of campaigns to rid the country of these diseases. There have been several partnerships involving the USAID and UNDP organizations. In 2004, there were 155,826 fewer cases of malaria reported compared to 2002. Yemen have achieved the last target goal but still need to work on achieving targets 6.A and 6.B.
