We’re looking at the singular condition of poverty. All the other individual problems spring from that condition... doesn’t matter if it’s death, aid, trade, AIDS, famine, instability, governance, corruption or war. All of that is poverty. Our problem is that everybody tries to heal each of the individual aspects of poverty, not poverty itself. -- Bob Geldof

"We need to band together as a unit every day, especially to conquer the strength of the AIDS virus." -- Dustin Hoffman

“Abstinence, being faithful and correct and consistent condom use are the only ways to successfully reach everyone when discussing HIV prevention. I believe that the abstinence message alone does not solve the AIDS epidemic.” -- Ashley Judd You have so much power to bring awareness, prevention and change. -- Ashley Judd The empowerment of girls and women is an essential tool to preventing the HIV/AIDS emergency from exploding any further -- Ashley Judd

 

As a Goodwill Ambassador for YouthAIDS, I’ve learned that the face of AIDS is increasingly young and female. By educating young people and empowering them to make the right choices we can stop the spread of HIV/AIDS
-- Ashley Judd

"Investment in AIDS will be repaid a thousand-fold in lives saved and communities held together."
-- Dr. Peter Piot, Executive Director, UNAIDS

"No war on the face of the Earth is more destructive than the AIDS pandemic."
-- Colin Powell

“When my father died of AIDS, I knew I had to do everything in my power to prevent others from going through what he endured. I support AmFAR which provides funds for cutting edge AIDS research so we can find a vaccine and a cure. ” -- Natasha Richardson

 

"AIDS destroys families, decimates communities and, particularly in the poorest areas of the world, threatens to destabilize the social, cultural, and economic fabric of entire nations..."
-- Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism

"I believe that this could very well be looked back on as the sin of our generation...I believe that our children and their children, 40 or 50 years from now, are going to ask me, what did you do while 40 million children became orphans in Africa? "
-- Rich Stearns, President of World Vision, US

I think the statistics of AIDS are so terrifying, so overwhelming that it makes you think that I can't act. But actually you can. You can write letters, you can activate yourself and other people. You can be aware, you can educate yourself about it and you can talk about it. And all of those things are extremely positive, even within your group - of your family and your friends. Merely raising the issue is a hugely important social and political act and people mustn't think that just because they're not shifting the world slightly to the left every time they pick up a pen. The way, I think, anything has ever really changed on this planet is through large groups of very ordinary people saying something finally. -- Emma Thompson

I think it's [the AIDS fight] the most important and most pressing one - I think it's a global emergency and I think in a way we all have to address it and engage with it because I think it's the biggest threat to the human race that we have ever faced.
-- Emma Thompson

I think we're creating a situation that's incredibly dangerous. There's a lot of chat at the moment about the war on terror and whilst there are many causes for acts of terrorism, what kind of society are you creating if you allow civil society in Africa to die and create millions upon millions of orphans? Where are they going to go? What kind of cults, what kind of militias, what's going to happen? The accession of violence in those countries, the possibility of that, to me is very terrifying.
-- Emma Thompson
