STOP AIDS: KEEP THE
PROMISE
On December 1, 2006, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) commemorates the
lives of people living with HIV around the world, the suffering of those
who have died from AIDS and the work of countless organizations
dedicated to battling the pandemic. CRS is at the forefront of the
global humanitarian response to HIV and AIDS, working closely with
partners in Africa, Asia and Latin America and the United States to
expand the provision of care to people living with the virus.
Together, HIV and AIDS pose one of the
largest, most complex threats to human health the world has ever known.
Great stigma compounds already tragic physical consequence. And in the
developing world, the pandemic is devastating the physical, social and
economic health of entire communities and regions. Not only do people
suffer and die from this disease, it robs them of their dignity, their
families, their social networks and their livelihoods.
