Why People & Planet should return to the campaign against HIV and AIDS.

  • Treat AIDS Now was arguably People & Planets most effective campaign ever. After a two year break it is time to re-start the campaign with fresh targets,goals and campaigners.

  • 33 million people world wide are currently living with HIV. This is an urgent issue that we can make a big impact on now!

  • HIV and AIDS is a very emotive issue, that is easily explained and which avoids contentious arguments. This makes it a very accessible campaign that could allow us to reach more people and expand the network.

  • With the rise of climate change, HIV as an issue has somewhat dropped off the campaigning radar. People & Planet can stand out of the crowd, using it’s unique voice to put HIV back onto the agenda.

  • The majority of people living with HIV are under 25. A People & Planet campaign demonstrate a solidarity with young people the world over.
