The 2011 High Level Meeting on HIV/AIDS is continuing at the United Nations. On Thursday, the British singer and activist Annie Lennox helped unveil a plan to eliminate new infections among children.

Annie Lennox: “Countries most affected by AIDS must be at the forefront of efforts to eliminate new HIV infections among children and keeping their mothers alive. For when countries take the lead in shaping the HIV response that fits their context and partners from all sectors rally around to support their efforts, it’s extraordinary what can happen.”
