“The HIV epidemic is a global catastrophe, ... It is compounded by tremendous inequalities in care that must be dealt with now, not only for moral and ethical reasons, but also because of political, social and economic imperatives.”
Bruce Walker
“The slow-witted approach to the HIV epidemic was the result of a thousand years of Christian malpractice and the childlike approach of the church to sexuality. If any single man was responsible, it was Augustine of Hippo who murdered his way to sainthood spouting on about the sins located in his genitals.”
Derek Jarman
“HIV/AIDS is a global problem that demands a global response and I look forward to participating in this most important event. Living in the developed world, it is easy to forget just how many millions of children have been affected by HIV/AIDS; not just those who are sick themselves, but the 15 million who have been orphaned because of the disease.”
Kelly Rowland
“We ... need the president to live up to his promises and provide full funding to our global HIV/AIDS initiative if we are to tackle not only Vietnam but India, Russia and China. That means that we need nothing less than $3.6 billion this year.”
Barbara Lee
“In our studies of HIV patients with painful feet -peripheral neuropathy- animal studies have already demonstrated that marijuana, where opioids don't work, works for nerve pain.”
Donald Abrams
“The failure to properly address the modern plague caused by HIV is an act of (irresponsibility) that will be judged by history,”
David Ho
“The transmission of HIV/AIDS is preventable, avoidable and inexcusable to not do something to stop it.”
Mike DeWine
