Answer 2

Answer:

D. Access to prevention and treatment became more available.

Explanation:

As years have passed since HIV was discovered, people have learnt about the disease, how it is transmitted and how to avoid getting it which have helped to decrease the number of new cases. Also, treatments for the disease have been improved over the years and more people are having access to them which has increased the life expectancy of people that have HIV and AIDS. Because of that, the answer is that the situation exists because access to prevention and treatment became more available.
