President Bush Discusses World AIDS Day
On Friday, President Bush said, “World AIDS Day is both a day of sadness and a day of hope. We remember
with sadness all those lost to AIDS. We mourn their lives cut short,
their dreams of future denied. And we ask for God’s blessing on the
loved ones they have left behind. We also mark this day with hope –
for the improving prospects of those living with the virus, for the
unprecedented number of infections being prevented, and for new
progress toward eradicating this disease. Above all, we rededicate
ourselves to a great purpose: We will turn the tide against HIV/AIDS
— once and for all.” -
