Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and its etiologic agent Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is still a curse for the Humanity. Till today the world's most serious epidemic as well as leading infectious killer disease is AIDS/HIV, the ultimate destiny of which is the early death of the infected patient. A proper treatment or effective vaccine for HIV positive patients is still a dream to the doctors and scientists. Although, several drugs have been used for the chemotherapy of HIV infections since 1987 after the first approval of FDA and presently the widely used FDA approved drugs are AZT, DDC, DDI and D4T, even recently approved drugs are also added to these list. The bad news is that all those drugs cannot cure the diseases completely, they only work as an inhibitors of reverse transcriptase. So chemotherapy is the only way to retain a better life for the HIV positive people. Recent Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) 2015 ‘Getting to Zero’ shows a hope to build up a new world without AIDS. This paper investigates and focuses on those issues of the overall present scenarios of AIDS epidemics worldwide and the Millennium Development Goals 2015 for the preventive strategies of HIV infections. The data and methodologies presented in this paper are mostly adapted from the existing literatures which are cited in the texts as well as in the references. A mathematical model is analyzed with numerical simulations showing its importance in diseases control and preventions.
