–canada has come out strongly against providing heroin and
other injected drugs to person accessing the clean needle
sites.
–canada contributre to who for clean needsl, counseilling
etc. - everythoing except actually supplying the actural drugs
..drugs that are against the law.
perhaps this is something that cnn should report on as well.
there is a great difference between providing help to users
and providing free drugs to contribute to more crime etc.

Prevention specialists, scientists, doctors. other health workers, counselors, survivors (those still living with the disease and those who've survived a loss of someone they love to the disease) all have at base the same message I think. That message is the people this disease impacts matter too much for this to ever be ignored. Those who have died matter too much for this to ever be ignored. All voices should be heard. No one should ever forget. No one should ever stop trying to stop this thing until we have done that. Fifteen years ago I promised my best friend I would never allow him to be forgotten when he died of AIDS complications and would never stop working to stop this disease. I think a lot of us made those promises we all try to keep. Telling the stories in the media simply helps us honor them and share the message of prevention and awareness with the world. Thank you.

I think AIDS lost a lot of the public outcry because it's preventable.
If you take certain steps you can't contract HIV... (this only happening after more public education and testing of blood, etc) I think a lot can be done in third world countries especially in the education department.

I hope that a cure is found... or at least a vaccine... But some people will never consider it a threat because their lifestyle prevents them from getting it... sadly,,, some even see it as the fault of the victim.

We have to find a cure,this virus/disease is alreday a giant epidemic.We need more funding for research.
