THE CHALLENGE

Young people today never saw AIDS when it was an out-of-control deadly plague. Their main exposure to AIDS is likely from TV commercials for HIV medications showing people mountain biking and running marathons.
The truth is that AIDS is still a deadly disease, and its consequences are severe for those who live with it. We worked with Elton John and his foundation for two years, delivering this critically important message: AIDS AIN’T OVER.
