UN member states pledged to intensify the fight against AIDS and reaffirmed their resolve to end the AIDS epidemic by 2030. 
The renewed commitments came during the opening session of a UN high-level meeting on eradicating the disease. 
The political declaration, which was adopted by consensus by all UN member states, is seen as a victory by many for its mention of particularly vulnerable populations and its ambitious pledge to provide 30 million people living with HIV access to treatment by 2020. 
However, critics say the text doesn't go far enough. The document notes that people who inject drugs, sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender people and prisoners are considered "key populations" with higher risks of HIV infection globally.
