In recent years, we have made significant progress in fighting the global AIDS epidemic. But we have a long way to go. Ending AIDS will require more funding, and more commitment from the international community. But what it will require most of all is more compassion.
On Valentine’s Day, Elton John, David Furnish, and a host of celebrities will raise awareness about the need for compassion to fight AIDS by pricking their fingers, creating a spot of blood, and tweeting the image accompanied by the words “Love Is In My Blood.”
EJAF is spearheading this campaign with the help of renowned artist Ai Wei Wei, who has created a short film to remind the world that the fight against AIDS is winnable, but only if we have enough love and compassion to ensure that no one is left behind or made to feel ashamed for being HIV-positive.
We encourage you to share this film with your friends, family, and colleagues, and spread the word about Elton’s campaign for compassion.
