Faith and Civil Society Leaders Hold Interfaith Service to Commemorate World AIDS Day
Date:11/28/2008

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- With new HIV infections outpacing the number of people newly put on treatment worldwide, faith and civil society leaders will gather this World AIDS Day to call for a global commitment to effective prevention, treatment and care. The service, which will take place on December 1st, in Washington, D.C., will be followed by a candlelight vigil.

Given the recent election, the world is hopeful that U.S. leadership will promote human rights and equality in U.S. HIV prevention efforts. This means designing policies and programs based on evidence rather than ideology.

During a pre-service media briefing on Tuesday, November 25th, faith and civil society leaders called on the U.S. government to address the prevention needs of marginalized communities and chart the course for a sustainable and cost-effective response to the global pandemic.

Stating that the realities of people's lives should drive U.S. HIV/AIDS policies and funding, Rev. William Sinkford, President of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations, said that it's "clear that the approach to HIV/AIDS needs to be country and community specific. We have to address the full social and economic contexts in which real people live or the pandemic will continue to spread."
