In the course of a quarter of a century, HIV has infected 65 million people, and killed 25 million. Today, 40 million people are living with HIV. Almost half of them are women. More women -- including married women -- are living with HIV than ever before.

STATEMENT BY H.E. SHEIKHA HAYA RASHED AL KHALIFA THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE FOLLOW-UP TO THE OUTCOME OF THE TWENTY-SIXTH SPECIAL SESSION:

‘AIDS: Pandemic and Agent for Change’ Arthur and Frank Payne lecture Stanford University San Francisco, 9th May 2007

Seven years ago, many of us met here in Durban at the 2000 International AIDS Conference. That conference marked a watershed in the global response to the epidemic because, for the first time, it was possible to discuss developing country access to anti-retroviral treatment and a global movement was initiated.

It is an honour to be here with you in Kigali today, and to have this opportunity to speak on behalf of the World Bank, the World Health Organisation, UNICEF – all the co-sponsors of UNAIDS and of this meeting.

Friends and colleagues – welcome to this twentieth meeting of the UNAIDS Programming Coordinating Board.
