I have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding from the people I have met in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cutthroat, competitive world in which I spent my life.
Anthony Perkins

From the point of view of the pharmaceutical industry, the AIDS problem has already been solved. After all, we already have a drug which can be sold at the incredible price of $8,000 an annual dose, and which has the added virtue of not diminishing the market by actually curing anyone.
Barbara Ehrenreich

Those who suffer from AIDS deserve better than to be branded as sinners outside our concern and to be forced to become some kind of latter-day lepers.
Theodore Bikel

AIDS and malaria and TB are national security issues. A worldwide program to get a start on dealing with these issues would cost about $25 billion.
Jared Diamond

Following Christ’s example closely, the Church has always considered the care of infirm people to be an integral part of its mission. I therefore encourage the many initiatives underway to overcome this sickness, especially by church communities, and I feel close to people with AIDS and their families, invoking upon them the Lord’s help and comfort.
Pope Benedict XVI
