Now the results are available on AIDSVote.org.

"World AIDS Day is this Saturday, but you could also say that World AIDS Day is Election Day 2008. That's because our next President will have the opportunity and the responsibility to end AIDS," said Charles King, President and CEO of Housing Works. "She or he will have the tools to treat 33 million people living with HIV-including over a million Americans-around the planet, as well as the tools to stop the spread of the virus. We're here to build the political will to make that happen."

The Gay Men's Health Crisis Report on the 2008 Presidential Candidates and HIV/AIDS Issues, a detailed portrait of every candidate's history in public life on HIV/AIDS issues.
