The World Health Organisation says Papua New Guinea has failed to prevent HIV/AIDS from spreading.
Dr Yves Renault from the W-H-O says yesterday's introduction of an anti-retro-viral treatment programme was a sign that PNG had failed to prevent the spread of the virus from becoming a generalised epidemic.
Dr Renault says the therapy programme should reach 3-thousand people by early 2006, but he said this depended on the government funding the programme.
