TORONTO (Reuters) - Small victories are being won against the AIDS virus, experts said on Wednesday as a report showed that 10 times more people in Africa are getting life-saving HIV drugs than did three years ago, but overall most people who need treatment are still not getting it. 

Studies showed the benefits of providing drugs would outweigh the costs, and one report predicted that if people were treated, they would be significantly less likely to pass along the virus.
