It’s showtime for the zip-zap circus in Cape Town. All these children are HIV-positive. But that doesn’t prevent them from living a very active and creative live, because they are all receiving antiretroviral treatment.
In a five-part video series, MSF demonstrates tools and models that could help make improved treatment accessible to many more. Between June 8-10, 2011, world leaders will meet in New York to decide on the future of the millions needing treatment urgently.
By sharing this video, help us spread the word that there is NO EXCUSE for governments to leave 10 million people untreated! See doctorswithoutborders.org/stopthevirus for more info.
Join us in the streets of New York City to demand that World Leaders keep their promise to treat AIDS and stop the virus.
June 8th is the first day of the United Nations High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS. World Leaders will gather to announce their commitments to fight global AIDS.
Hanging in the balance will be the lives of the 10 million people who urgently need treatment, at a time when the latest science tells us that treating HIV not only saves lives, but also dramatically reduces—by 96 percent—transmission of the virus from one person to another. More info here.
