Faith in Action- A hindu Leaders cacus on HIV/AIDS May 31, 2008

Faith In Action” – A Hindu Leaders Caucus on HIV/AIDS: June 1-2, 2008

AIDS has been called “an unprecedented crisis … that demands an exceptional response”. Though global HIV prevalence has leveled off, AIDS is among the leading causes of death globally.

Some 2.5 million people were newly infected with the virus in 2007 and 2.1 million people died of AIDS-related illnesses.

Although the proportion of people living with HIV in India is lower than previously estimated, the epidemic continues to affect large numbers of people (2.5 million people as estimated by UNAIDS in 2006).

In India, Hindu leaders are coming together to send a message of solidarity against this deadly epidemic. “Faith in Action”, being jointly organized by The Art of Living Foundation, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and Asian Interfaith Network on HIV/AIDS (AINA), will provide a platform for Hindu leaders to craft a coherent HIV/AIDS strategy and action plan for communities across India.
