HIV :: Promise to help UNAIDS
Promises are important on the football pitch and in life. Promises are made to be kept.
AIDS
HIV :: HIV/AIDS clearly a health problem and also a development problem
While HIV/AIDS is clearly a health problem, the world has come to realize it is also a development problem that threatens human welfare, socio-economic advances, productivity, social cohesion, and even national security.
HIV :: Need to see tangible results
We are now more than 25 years into this epidemic. People living with HIV and their communities urgently need to see tangible results.
HIV :: Create more openness about HIV/AIDS
Those of you who are young today can actually stop the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Forty million people are infected with HIV/AIDS, which makes it the most serious health-related catastrophe of modern times.
HIV :: End to the suffering and death bred by this global pandemic
We have known this epidemic for 25 years. In the United States, it was 15 years of dying followed, for most of us, by 10 years of living. But when we look across the globe, it is still, today, mostly 25 years of dying. There is no question that we have the capacity to change that.
HIV :: Most severe health crisis in history
With close to 20 million deaths since the early days of the epidemic, 40 million people living with HIV, 4.3 million new infections and 2.9 million deaths caused by AIDS in 2006, the world is facing the most severe health crisis in history.
HIV :: Show care for people living with HIV/AIDS and their families
Everyone should care about AIDS. Unity is the strength in the fight against AIDS. I hope everybody can take responsibility to protect themselves and their partners from HIV infection.
HIV :: Make every day World AIDS Day
Today, on World AIDS Day, the global community once again takes stock of the progress made and the considerable challenges ahead in the global fight against AIDS. As I have seen during my recent travels to Africa, many lifesaving efforts, undertaken by courageous champions, are serving increasing numbers of individuals and families in communities both large and small. But more, so much more, needs to be done.
HIV :: AIDS needs to be remembered everyday
Today on the 1st of December, many people remember that AIDS is still around. But AIDS needs to be remembered everyday and we must fight this pandemic, through prevention but above all support those who are already suffering.
HIV :: THE WAR must be won
On this day, the International Community of Women living with HIV/AIDS in East Africa raise and add our voice to the many; to our fellow fighters, advocates and activists, political leaders and all players to be accountable and keep to our promise. THE WAR must be won and this calls for concerted efforts.
