Tomorrow, December 1 is World AIDS Day. World AIDS day 2005 is particularly significant. At the G8 Summit in July, World Leaders promised to have universal access to treatment for all people living with HIV/AIDS by 2010. This is a great promise, but now we need to see action to make this promise a reality.
On World AIDS Day 2005, Oxfam and the Stop Aids Coalition (a UK-wide coalition of charities fighting for better access to care and treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS) are letting Tony Blair know that the UK is watching and expecting the UK Government to do their bit to keep this HIV/AIDS promise. Oxfam asks that you join us on World AIDS day and make your voice heard in the following way:
E-action: Eyeball your MP. Send an email to your MP to ask what the UK Government is doing to meet the pledge of universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS by 2010. http://www.stopaidscampaign.org.uk/Blairometer.asp
Yesterday was indeed a bitterweet day. While a lot more people seemed to be involved in helping, it also seems to be getting worse; but at least we can try to make a difference, even if it's wearing the red ribbon for one day, at least it's a reminder that we should be working to end this terrrible disease, not just prolonging life.
