Getting to Zero -World AIDS day 2013

Getting to Zero means Zero new HIV infection, Zero stigma, Zero babies born with HIV, Zero death from HIV/AIDS.
That sounds good, right?
Last year I posted my reflections on what AIDS day means to me and called upon everyone of us to contribute to getting to Zero. This year, I ask every one of us to keep the promise and in that regard join the global community to make "getting  to Zero" a reality. The  UNAIDS global report on HIV/AIDS, highlights on  the achievements we have attained to-date on the fight against HIV/AIDS and the challenges ahead.The challenges ahead can not be tackled by a single nation, but a global community that works in solidarity to address the challenges. On his official statement, Ban Ki-moon calls upon all partners contributing to the Global fund to continue to support this most important fund that has significantly contributed to achievements in the fight of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
