<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=3><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The Global AIDS Alliance seeks to
mobilize a comprehensive, evidence-based response to the global AIDS crisis
while addressing the epidemic’s fundamental links to global health, gender,
and income inequities. Based in Washington, DC, GAA conducts advocacy
aimed at donor governments and multilateral institutions to fulfill their
political and financial commitments for achieving universal access to HIV/AIDS
prevention, treatment, and care by 2010. GAA partners with rights-based
advocates in implementing countries to promote governmental accountability and
tangible improvements to the quality of life for people living with and
affected by HIV/AIDS. We demand faster, bolder action and concrete
results to stop AIDS while protecting the dignity and rights those most at
risk of infection and its consequences.</SPAN></FONT></P>
