Photo: Sue Valentine/allAfrica Under the theme Turning the Tide Together, more than 23,000 delegates from over 195 countries gathered in Washington, D.C. for the XIX International AIDS Conference (AIDS 2012) to begin the march toward the end of the AIDS epidemic.
Noting that recent scientific advances have changed the landscape of the epidemic, delegates will dedicate the week to presenting the latest scientific research and building momentum toward ensuring that financing and global leadership across all sectors keep pace with scientific progress against HIV.
The conference runs through Friday, 27 July at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. "Our return to the United States after a 22-year absence comes at a time of extraordinary hope, a time when we believe that the end of the AIDS epidemic is possible, said Elly Katabira International Chair of AIDS 2012 and President of the International AIDS Society (IAS).
"AIDS 2012 is an important opportunity to thank the American people and highlight the millions of lives saved as a result of generous U.S. contributions to the global fight against AIDS and its leadership in HIV research."
"There is no doubt, that our progress over the past 30 years has been impressive, but maintaining the status quo is simply not enough," said Dr. Diane Havlir, U.S. Co-Chair of AIDS 2012 and Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.
"My message to policy makers around the entire world watching us here in D.C. is this - invest in science, invest in the epidemic - you will save lives." Drs. Katabira and Havlir called on delegates and allies around the world to sign The Washington, D.C. Declaration, the official declaration of AIDS 2012.
The declaration calls for renewed urgency and seeks to build broad support for beginning to end the AIDS epidemic through a nine-point action plan.
The Opening Session included remarks from a range of U.S. and global leaders, including U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius, South African Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (via video), U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Lee, World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim, UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé, Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray, Ambassador Mark Dybul and Annah Sango of Zimbabwe.
"In the 22 years since this conference was held on American soil, we have made long-awaited breakthroughs in science and treatment," said Secretary Sebelius.
"Today, someone diagnosed with HIV and treated before the disease is far advanced can have a nearly normal life expectancy. Now is not the time for easing up, slowing down, or shifting our focus. If we are going to reach our ultimate goal of an AIDS-free generation, we must all challenge ourselves to do more - to reach even more people, to make programs even more effective and accountable, to push the boundaries of science even further."
"Sustained progress in the AIDS response is accelerating our journey to Zero," said Michel Sidibé. "It is now time for a new AIDS agenda and new partnerships based on shared responsibility, mutual accountability and global solidarity."
Congresswoman Lee noted that "the return of the International AIDS Conference to the United States at this pivotal time is a long overdue opportunity for our domestic epidemic to become part of a global effort working to achieve a world without AIDS.
From California to Cameroon, we are literally at a tipping point in the fight against AIDS- and at no time in history has our global leadership been more important to address the ongoing challenges in our own country and around the world."
"Young people need to move from being passengers to drivers, Sexual reproductive health rights are fundamental to everyone the sooner we appreciate that the closer we get to making a difference in the lives of women and young people," said Annah Sango.
The International AIDS Conference was last held in the U.S. in 1990 in San Francisco. U.S restrictions on the entry of people living with HIV prohibited the conference's return in the ensuing 20 years. Following years of advocacy and under a process initiated by President George W. Bush and finished by President Barack Obama, the U.S. restrictions were lifted in 2010, paving the way for the conference's return.

So where did AIDS really come from? Read "Full Disclosure", The Truth About The AIDS Epidemic, by Dr. Gary Glum.
As far as Drugs and Vaccinations are concerned, science has already proven they are dangerous to your good health and most of the AIDS drugs do as much harm as AIDS, which some scientist have already admitted.
In the Monday May 11, 1987 London Times article, Science Editor Pearce Write’s headlines were, “Smallpox Vaccine “Triggered AIDS Virus” and the WHO was giving the medical injections.
Dr. William Campbell Douglas, M.D., wrote a paper titled, “WHO Murdered Africa” and suggested WHO was not a question, but the World Health Organization was responsible for AIDS in Africa.
Robert B. Strecker M.D, PhD and his brother, Attorney Theodore Strecker, presented the documented facts on the Request, Production and Distribution AIDS and presented WHO documents suggesting their possible involvement in the intentional spread of AIDS in Africa, in a DVD titled, “The Strecker Memorandum” and a document complete with references presented to every U.S. Government Agency titled, “This Is A Bio-Attack Alert, dated March 28, 1986.
Additional scientific evidence of the creation and intentional spread of AIDS was given by Dr. John Seale, a member of the Royal College of Medicine in London and an in depth description of Dr. Seale’s documented evidence on the creation of AIDS was written by Dr. Gary L. Glum in a book titled, “Full Disclosure”.
The two herbs being used are Olive Leaf Extract and the Native American Herb Chaparral, along with supplements to enhance the Immune System, Raw Vegetables and Raw Fruit Juices. The Raw Diet offers the body Enzymes to help restore the Immune System, no meat and no microwave food; microwave food goes through a molecular change from the microwaves.
People who have returned to work were on the Raw Food and Herbs. Read The Persecution Of Gaston Naessens. Gaston Naessens of Canada used a product he calls 714-X, which unclogs the Lymphatic System. In Court he testified he never said he cured Cancer or AIDS, he said 714-X clears the Lymphatic System and the body heals itself. Many people cured of Cancer and AIDS testified in his defense and he won his case. 714-X is banned in the USA.
Kemron, which was being used successfully by the doctors of the Nation Of Islam, was also banned. The reason Kemron worked is because it helped the body to naturally produce hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen Peroxide destroys all anaerobic bacteria and viruses. (look for the book “Oxygen Therapy” by Ed McCabe, oxygenhealth.com)
The number of Doctors, Virologists, Medical Researchers and other Scientists working in the best interest of Humanity are growing and they are telling the chilling Truth About AIDS.
It should also be noted, the natural remedies which have been proven by science to be effective against AIDS are suppressed, because the Herbs and Raw Diets cost pennies on the dollar and cannot be patented by drug companies.
