A WAKE UP CALL FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM

AEGiS News Service - December 5, 2002
Elizabeth Canepa

In terms of illness and death, AIDS is worse than the Black Death of the 14th century. The Black Death - or bubonic plague - ravaged Asia and Europe in the 14th Century killing 40 million people.

It is sad commentary that in this new millennium, HIV/AIDS is likely to surpass the Black Death as the worst pandemic ever, as without access to drugs, most of the 42m people living with HIV/AIDS will die. An affordable cure is urgently needed as well as intensified prevention, care, and support programs.

We at AEGiS feel we provide an excellent worldwide support program of the latest information available for those caring for people with HIV/AIDS, and those living with HIV/AIDS. If you think so too, won't you please make a contribution during this holiday season?

We need your very important financial help that will enable us to continue our mission to foster understanding and knowledge that will lead to better care, prevention and a cure. Until there's a cure, there's AEGiS. Donations of $10.00, $25.00, $50.00 or more will enable us to continue this important work.
