AIDS: BEYOND THE CONFERENCE

WHAT THEY SAID



"The capacity to treat isn't so much gated by drug prices now as by personnel." — Bill Gates, on the need for funding for AIDS healthcare professionals and facilities "We will not accept a Schindler's List for HIV in which the lives of those who receive treatment are saved and others are left behind to suffer and die." — Dr Pedro Cahn, current president of the International AIDS Society

HIV is an epidemic alive in our communities and I will no longer be silent about this truth." — Kecia Larkin, the first openly HIV-positive aboriginal woman in Canada

"That conference in our view was becoming a place where you couldn't have a rational discussion." Tony Clement, federal Minister of Health, responding to critics of the government's silence during the conference "It's just profoundly inappropriate and I think it's a measure of the government's commitment to [fighting] the disease." — Stephen Lewis, UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa
