This month scientists supported by the National Institutes of Health showed that antiretroviral therapy can not only prolong the lives of people with HIV/AIDS, it could decrease transmission of the virus by 96% between sexual partners!

This U.S. funded study proves that treatment is prevention and helps show we can end AIDS. Yet, at the United Nations, the U.S. is hypocritically not taking leadership to fight for real, achievable treatment targets in the UN declaration that is being negotiated right now for release at the High Level Meeting on AIDS beginning on June 8th. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is likely going and should be leading the charge. Please call ASAP!!

CALL Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s office now. 202-647-5291 Here is what to say:

Hello my name is _____________________ from _________ (state). I am calling to demand that the U.S. support a goal of getting treatment to at least 15 million people by 2015 at the negotiations on the U.N. Declaration for the UN High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS beginning on June 8th and support a funding goal of $24 billion globally. I look forward to hearing this government’s commitment to funding, treating and ending AIDS. Thank you very much!

If you can't make a phone call, you can use the online form here to send en email to your Secretary Clinton. You must make changes to the letter to reflect why YOU want you the government to fund global AIDS.

This is urgent; please call her office today.

Thanks for all you do.
