"World AIDS Day 2005, themed 'Stop AIDS. Keep the promise.' will focus on keeping commitments to stop AIDS at all levels: personal, community, organizational, governmental.
The World AIDS Campaign (WAC) from 2005 to 2010 is calling on individuals and groups to support the theme 'Stop AIDS. Keep the promise.' aimed at governments and policy makers. The intention is to establish an international campaign to hold our leaders accountable for their promises and commitments and take the action necessary to deliver on them.
Achieving this ambition requires more support and action than people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS are able to generate on their own. What is needed is the involvement of more people from many different walks of life whether they are individuals or groups whether they are part of a trade union or a faith group or part of the women's movement or a young person wanting a better world in the future.
'Stop AIDS. Make the promise.' has been developed by the WAC to provide that opportunity for people to get involved and make their voices heard and become part of a new global movement that will not accept that we are doing enough for the- 40 million people and counting, who need us all to get involved in this campaign.
Everyone can contribute whether that is by making your promise to support the campaign and its work or by actively promoting the campaign with friends and colleagues."
Still, on this 17th Anniversary of the first World AIDS Day there is no finish line in sight. The need for our service of acquiring and disseminating critical HIV/AIDS information is needed more than ever.
