Found these quotes on africaaction.org."Years from now people will ask about AIDS in Africa — as with the Holocaust or the Rwandan genocide — ‘How could the world have known — and failed to act?’" Africa Action
"I have to say that the ongoing plight of Africa forces me to perpetual rage. It's all so unnecessary, so crazy that hundreds of millions of people should be thus abandoned." Former UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa Stephen Lewis, 2005
"The vision which fueled our struggle for freedom… will be needed if we are to bring AIDS under control. This is a war." Former South African President Nelson Mandela, February 2002
"If this would have happened in the Balkans, or in Eastern Europe… with white people, the reaction would have been different." Peter Piot, UNAIDS, July 2000
You can view my take on HIV\AIDS by reading the poem, "Viral Monster" in the poetry section.
