We can defeat AIDS, TB and malaria if we all come together
Defeating HIV, tuberculosis and malaria is no longer something unthinkable. This is the first generation to have the historic opportunity to end two plagues of millennia – malaria and tuberculosis – and the modern day Black Death – HIV. Scientific innovation and years of experience in the field have put the global health community within reach of ending these epidemics as threats to public health. The question is no longer whether we can do it, but whether we will actually do it.
