    Oct. 19 2011

    ONE and (RED) are calling on President Obama to focus his Administration on defeating HIV and stepping up U.S. global leadership in this arena.

    - 15 x 15: ensure 15 million HIV-positive people are on treatment by 2015
    - A drastic reduction in the rate of new HIV infections by 2015.If the President commits us all to these bold and world-changing goals he will have helped pave the way to the beginning of the end of AIDS.
