12. Appendix Excerpts from the World AIDS Conference in Bangkok HIV/AIDS, which according to Nelson Mandela is one of the greatest challenges facing the 21 st century, was the theme of the 15 th World AIDS Conference in Bangkok. This conference focused mainly on funding the fight against AIDS. According to the estimates of the United Nations AIDS Programme (UNAIDS), the annual requirement will be US$12,000 million as of 2005, rising to US$20bn as of 2007. The total sum of donations falls far short of that amount. 37
In 2003, 15 million children were orphaned by AIDS, 38 million people were infected with AIDS , and 2.9 million died of the disease (see graphs above). There is still no prospect of an effective vaccine. The warning from UNAIDS is clear: unless the international community acts quickly, this fatal immune deficiency syndrome will ravage Asia – home to 60 per cent of the world’s population – as it has already ravaged Africa. At present, a large number of HIV carriers in Central Asia are injecting heroin users. Injecting heroin users are clearly a high risk group. It is for this reason that the Bangkok conference demanded the decriminalisation of drug addicts and ready access to clean syringes. Pharmaceutical companies should waive their patent rights on the relevant medicines, exclusion and stigma must be combated. According to Roger Staub, head of the AIDS Section of the SFOPH, Switzerland too needs to increase its financial contribution to international efforts to combat AIDS. This will also benefit private industry, because the spread of AIDS in Asia and Eastern Europe will eventually destroy export markets that are important to Swiss industry. 38
