XVI International AIDS conference in Toronto, Canada

 

 

An estimated 20 000 people descended on the Canadian city of Toronto in August for the International AIDS Conference. Participants at the meeting included scientists, health-care workers, activists and civil, political and business leaders. The conference theme was "Time to Deliver" and delegates called on the world to take whatever steps were necessary to ensure HIV/AIDS treatment and care were available for all who needed them by 2010.
