December 1st is World AIDS Day – 30 years after the first case was identified. In that time 30 million people have died as a result of AIDS. But, check out this incredible film which shows advances in science made this year mean for the first time we can speak credibly about bringing an end to AIDS.

The End of AIDS? from Stop AIDS Campaign on Vimeo.

We need your help to make sure our leaders grasp this chance. Ask David Cameron to declare his commitment to bringing an end to AIDS.

The results of a huge clinical trial published in May prove that if people living with HIV receive anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment, it prevents the spread of the virus to their partner. It’s an incredible 96% effective!

ARVs are already keeping nearly 7 million people with HIV alive and healthy around the world. There are still 9 million awaiting this life-saving medication. By getting those people on to treatment sooner we’ll be saving their lives and helping to stop the spread of HIV.

Earlier this month Hillary Clinton committed the creating an AIDS-free generation. We need you to become one of thousands of voices calling on the Prime Minister to grasp this opportunity to lead the world in bringing an end to AIDS.

Please follow this link to ask the PM to commit the UK to this effort on World AIDS Day.
