AIDS is not over. There are 42 million people infected with HIV and
20 million people have died so far while 14,000 people are infected
every day. 8,000 people die everyday of AIDS while rich nations and
pharmaceutical companies watch. Only 5% of those needing treatment
get it. We will be remembered by future generations as the people who
allowed greed and profits to be more important than human suffering
and lives. Let's not turn our backs to the new holocaust!
