Outcomes of the Toronto AIDS Conference
Organizers of the 16th International AIDS Conference in Toronto chose the theme "Time to deliver" to urge the international community to act. The scientific community delivered rich data and directions to one day find a vaccine against HIV. With 4.1 million people being infected in 2005, several speakers noted the conference stressed that it is crucial to focus on both treatment and prevention. Youth organizations emphasized the importance of reaching and educating young people before they become sexually active. The conference also called for government accountability, political and religious leadership, a stronger civil society and better coordination between international organizations.
