"Across the southern quadrant of Africa, this nightmare is
real. The word not spoken is AIDS, and here at ground zero
of humanity's deadliest cataclysm, the ultimate tragedy is
that so many people don't know — or don't want to know —
what is happening."

"The victims don't cry out. Doctors and obituaries do not give the killer
its name. Families recoil in shame. Leaders shirk responsibility. The
stubborn silence heralds victory for the disease: denial cannot keep the
virus at bay.
"The developed world is largely silent too. AIDS in Africa has never
commanded the full-bore response the West has brought to other, sometimes
lesser, travails. We pay sporadic attention, turning on the spotlight when
an international conference occurs, then turning it off. Good-hearted
donors donate; governments acknowledge that more needs to be done. But
think how different the effort would be if what is happening here were
happening in the West." www.time.com/time/2001/aidsinafrica/cover.html

populations of entire nations. And we ask, "Where is the money?"
