"The world is losing the war against AIDS."

"I feel angry, I feel distressed, I feel helpless... to live in a world where we have the means, we have the resources, to be able to help all these patients - what is lacking is the political will."

--U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan

Also, the United Nations' AIDS website.

New HIV infections amongst gay/bisexual men in the United States have increased by 17% in the last three years, with half of the new infections being black men.

Please don't let it get more sobering than this.

In the blur of work, I forgot to create a special design this year, so I've instead left a message up on the front page. Feel free to post these links as new threads instead of just comments here.

I did it in 2000 too, and also in 1999, but I don't have a record of that page.

Ah, my apologies, Matt, for missing the earlier ones. I seemed to recall seeing the blue turn gray earlier than 2001, but couldn't find the pages after a cursory search.
