AIDS has always been proverb

 AIDS has always been a political disease and it was absolutely anathema to talk about AIDS during the Reagan administration. Applications to study AIDS in the early 80s were buried. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop was barred from making public statements about AIDS until 1986.

 Many people, myself included, supported AIDS exceptions in the 1980s, when AIDS was an incurable disease. With AIDS being a treatable illness, it's time to rethink that.

 Self-examination is an important part of AIDS prevention and control. It helps HIV carriers and AIDS patients better understand their own condition so they can monitor and check the spread of the disease. This requires that AIDS counselors be well informed and equipped with good skills.

 AIDS is a disease that is hard to talk about. The ideal thing would be to have a 100 percent effective AIDS vaccine.
  Bill Gates

 Twenty-five years into this (AIDS) epidemic, it's ironic that there's never been any specific attention for children and AIDS. Yet every minute a child dies because of AIDS,

 This agreement builds on Bristol-Myers' long-standing commitment to the global fight against AIDS. In Sub-Saharan Africa, where the HIV/AIDS pandemic has been especially devastating, we've taken a broad-based approach to addressing the AIDS crisis, including providing our AIDS medicines at no profit prices and committing to ensure our patents do not prevent inexpensive treatment in the region.

 They all have misconceptions about (HIV/AIDS) care...A lot of the African men believe that sex with a virgin will cure you of AIDS...Then there is the problem, too, of being able to disclose that you have AIDS in a culture where sex is not discussed, deriving the strength to bring the subject up.

 The prominent role of AIDS in the president's speech tonight underscores the continuing battle against AIDS as we expand our AIDS treatment and prevention efforts globally.

 With AIDS we saw what can be done when people start paying enough attention to a disease -- prices of AIDS drugs dropped from $15,000 to under $200. The same sense of urgency should be given to malaria.

 Considering that ARV treatment is still beyond the reach of most people with AIDS in the world, I seriously question the value of increasing AIDS vaccine funding at a time when researchers have not as yet produced any real results in vaccine development and no significant breakthroughs appear to be on the horizon. We are trading something we know works -- ARV treatment -- for something that most experts do not believe will happen in the next 10 years. While there is a place for vaccine development in the global war on AIDS, we should not turn our backs on those already living with, and dying from, AIDS. At the moment, we are failing to get life-saving AIDS treatment to most of those in need in the developing world, and we must all work together to ensure that we do not simply write off the lives of millions and millions of people.

 AIDS has become one of the greatest leadership challenges worldwide and the need is to have a vibrant political leadership that could make bold decisions to contain the epidemic, ... Today the issue of AIDS is in the same category as global warming or global terrorism and it is no longer an infectious disease alone.

 There is absolutely no truth to these rumors and reports, which are baseless and part of the same campaign that tried to smear Arafat while he was alive. None of this stuff is believable. I trust the French, and they didn't conclude anything about AIDS. I am not an investigator so I can't say how he died, but I don't think it was from AIDS.

 But the increasing mortality rate can not directly be linked to HIV and Aids. Research studies to determine the increasing mortality rate and its link with HIV and Aids have not been undertaken. The causes of death on the death certificate are not indicated as HIV and Aids and it is therefore difficult to directly link it to HIV and Aids.

 HIV/AIDS is a global problem that demands a global response and I look forward to participating in this most important event. Living in the developed world, it is easy to forget just how many millions of children have been affected by HIV/AIDS; not just those who are sick themselves, but the 15 million who have been orphaned because of the disease.

 AIDS makes the system of global apartheid clear. We should be spending money on AIDS, not on war.
