RALLY AND MARCH at the UN General Assembly Special
Session on AIDS (UNGASS)

In 2001, world leaders gathered at the UN committed to
fight AIDS...
It is now 5 years since they met. 15 million people
are dead from AIDS. And there are 25 million new HIV
infections.
From May 31 - June 2, 2006, world leaders will meet
again at the United Nations to claim they are
committed to stopping AIDS and to hide from their
failures.
