Election 2008: Vote for action on AIDS!

The AIDS epidemic is far from over. Thousands of Canadians, and millions of people around the world, are infected with HIV each year. And each year, millions die because they don’t have the medicines or health services they need.

We know what works to prevent the spread of HIV. We know what’s needed to support and care for people living with HIV, their families and their communities.

But we need the federal government to take concrete action to help make these things happen. During this election, do your part to help fight AIDS.

Read about the issues below. Find out where the parties stand on key questions. Let your local candidates know what you think. Take action.
