World AIDS Day

Over 45 million people are infected with HIV, more of half of them are in Sub-saharan Africa. South Africa has the largest burden, with latest figures implying 5.3 million have HIV. Tying in with World AIDS Day (today), I've written a 2-page update on my report for NPC Rhetoric to Action, a guide for potential donors to AIDS projects in South Africa. We've emailed the update to about 500 wealthy indiviudals and foundations, and hopefully it will generate some new funding into projects such as the Treatment Action Campaign.
