Who can grasp the implications of these numbers from the UN report on AIDS dated December 2005?

570,000 Children died in 2005 from AIDS

4,900,000 estimated number of people newly infected in 2005 - that's 13,400 per day, 558 per hour, every hour 365 days of the year.

17.5 milion women living with HIV in 2005, up a million since 2003.

25 million have died from AIDS since 1981, making this the most destructive epidemic in all of mankind's recorded history.

It's not the millions we hear of, but one person that is the tragedy - my one teacher, my one nurse, my one father, my one sister, my one best friend - or me. Then we can put a human face on a faceless enemy, a hidden tyrant.

Once we see one tyrant, we can destroy that enemy.

Now is the time.
