"As we near our next major milestone of having one million men, women and children in our care worldwide, we call upon the U.S. and foreign governments to keep the promise to combat and end the global AIDS epidemic. With millions of lives potentially at stake, I am confident that the leadership of AHF's domestic and global programs has the capability, and the will, to keep breaking international barriers and extending our reach into even more countries and communities around the world."
