"We are well into the third decade of a scourge that has expanded exponentially beyond a small specific group to almost every corner of the globe. Whilst in some areas, incidence may have turned, prevalence continues to rise and will do so for a long time- more young people will be infected, more orphans will occur.
Yet, today still 70% of infected people don’t have access to life saving therapies.

Many still face stigma, economic deprivation and rejection because of their infection.
Many still don’t have access to basic information or simple interventions that will reduce risk. This is not the time for complacency nor apathy. It is the time for compassionate leadership that recognises that the voiceless are often those who suffer most- who can they turn to if their leaders do not listen and heed their cries. "

WORLD AIDS DAY: Community Action Is Key to Prevention
By Diego Cevallos
MEXICO CITY, Nov 30 (IPS) - The United Nations presented the call for nominations for the Red Ribbon Award 2008 to honour community leadership and action against HIV/AIDS in the Mexican capital Friday.
"Communities are at the forefront of addressing the core challenges of HIV," said Peter Piot, executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). "Honouring their work and encouraging the replication of community initiatives is essential for a successful global response."
In 2006, 550 organisations from more than 100 countries were nominated for the Red Ribbon Award.
"The action of local groups like ours provides effective responses to the most vulnerable groups, and that is strengthened when you work in partnership with the state," he added.
Piot said community organisations are on the front-line and their leadership is essential in fighting the AIDS epidemic.
If it were not for community initiatives, said the head of UNAIDS, there would be no way to curtail the spread of the disease.
