| Method / Issue: HIV is not merely a health problem, it has already developed into a disaster, and it has become a security crisis with a social impact as devastating as war. The epidemic is now threatening us more than ever, it has not been curbed, and on the contrary, more will be infected this year than last. Much is still not known about the epidemic and much is yet to be learnt but enough is known to act and we must act immediately to offer treatment and to provide care. No country is an island unto itself, the whole world is affected and action is needed to stop the HIV spread. | ||||
