World Aids Day marked in Amsterdam

Published on 1 December 2009 - 5:51pm
More about:

In Amsterdam, 500 crosses have been placed on the Museum Square as a symbol of the millions of Africans who die because they do not have access to anti-retroviral treatment.

Some of the crosses were then removed to indicate that many people could be saved.
 
Stop Aids Now is starting a new campaign on how the credit crisis has affected the treatment of aids in developing countries.

The organisation says, Western countries now think more about their own economy than about giving financial help to AIDS patients in Africa.

"World Aids Day marked in Amsterdam"........Amsterdam, being the so-called Gay Capitol of planet Earth, is the perfect place to have "World Aids Day". There is something better than money to fight and control Aids/HIV and it is called restraint. { Millions of innocent humans have died because of what the Gay lifestyle has contributed. It started off because of Gays and then they passed it on by having sex with drug users who in turn had sex with others. As time went on, drug dealers and gays sold their blood and the blood was given to those innocent people who needed it to live. { Aids is rampant in the world today because of the promiscuous, sexual behavior of homsexuals. You brought this plague on the world and now you think money will stop it. Stop the behaviours that are the cause and effect of AIDS; otherwise, the "survival of the fittest" will control the disease.
