AIDS Pandemic
Participants from Malawi lead the seminar in song. According to the latest UNAIDS report,
an estimated 40 million individuals are living with HIV/AIDS. In some countries
in Africa, one in every four people are infected with HIV. While mother-to-child
transmission has been all but eliminated in the United States and in Europe,
this wholly preventable way of spreading this killer is still prevalent in much
of the developing world.
On October 24-27, 2002 Presbyterian leaders from around
the world and United Nations staff came together at the Presbyterian United Nations
Office to strengthen efforts to address the AIDS pandemic. Visit the links below
for presentations and material from the seminar. Additional resources are coming
soon.
