""If we are ever to see an END to this dreadful pandemic called AIDS, a shift in social conscientiousness, more heart, enduring collaborations, and the political will are absolutely vital. With over 40 million of our Brothers and Sisters living with HIV, and another 25 million who have perished, regardless of an end to AIDS, we must continue to address some of the core and long-standing issues. Issues such as poverty, racism, homophobia, addiction and mental health. Whether we realize it or not, AIDS affects all of us. Thank you for doing your part in the fight against HIV/AIDS! Together we can and are making a difference in the lives of many."
