"'Ending AIDS' is heard by some activists living with HIV as a post-apocalyptic vision. Of course it is imperative to imagine a future where far fewer people acquire HIV, but we must hold that vision alongside the realities of hundreds of thousands of people living with HIV as long term survivors and having their rights and needs met."
Robin Gorna, director of AIDS Strategy, Advocacy, and Policy (ASAP), a consultancy of associates working globally to deliver a better response to AIDS, women’s health, and global health more broadly, warns that predicitions of "The End of AIDS" must not result in HIV+ people, and especialy women, being ignored.
