Inaction
Apathy
Towards AIDS
Is globally a crime
Against humanity

AIDS
Unnecessary premature death

Lack of money
Limited knowledge
Cultural taboos
The crisis is growing
Most have no access to effective therapies

The time to act is now

Hiv infects the most
Sexually active age groups
Most of them are in the prime
Of their working lives
Leading to disease and death
AIDS will weaken
Macro and micro eco
Nomic activity

The world cannot turn its back on this injustice any longer

Squeezing productivity, adding costs
Diverting productive resources
And depleting skills in the countries most affected
All these factors give rise to augment
Poverty, despair, and lack of hope
And could lead to increased
Political instability, terrorism and war
And even global instability
