A declaration calling for global support to end the AIDS epidemic was announced yesterday by the International AIDS Society, with support from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). The goal? For scientists, politicians, celebrities and all other concerned citizens of the world to sign on to the document to express their support – they are looking for signatures in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Swahili , Japanese, Hindi and Thai.
“We can save millions of lives with the knowledge we have today if we fully implement the proven strategies we now have to treat those living with HIV and prevent new infections,” said Diane Havlir, MD, chief of the UCSF Division of HIV/AIDS at San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center and U.S. co-chair of AIDS 2012.
