Picturing Poverty + HIV

July 27, 2008

The Int’l Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent Societies Flickr page has soon chilling photos from their HIV/AIDS programs.

More than any press release these photos help convey the impact HIV has on the lives of the poor.

Here is a video of the “HIV & Poverty” session at the XVI Int’l AIDS Conference (Aug. 13-16, 2006) in Toronto and here is the rapporteur’s summary.
