Life Positive - a notebook by UNDP and INP+

[Guest guest]

Dear friends

This writing pad is for us to keep our notes alongside pictures of some of the

key figures from India and around the world in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

These figures have come to signify the solidarity and public action that the

HIVepidemic has generated over the past more than 25 years.

In addition to featuring the well known, the writing pad also includes many

people living with HIV.

Many anonymous and some famous, they have almost always

contributed to the HIV response in concrete ways and been at the centre of the

response. They are artists and filmmakers, chartered accountants and

secretaries, living full and productive lives... they are us.

Interwoven throughout is an attempt to chronicle the milestones of the HIV

response worldwide-the fast track scientific response, the swift, colourful and

ingenious advocacy and activism response to the significant response from the

United Nations and international community including a groundswell of action at

the community level.

We hope that every time you turn a page you will be reminded that we are all

connected by our commitment, and that we must continue to respond to the

challenges raised by HIV.

Best regards,

Maxine Olson
