United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon called Wednesday for "global solidarity" to end HIV/AIDS, as he opened a three-day conference reviewing progress in fighting the epidemic, according to dpa. Ban proposed a five-step programme, consisting of universal access to health care, low-price drugs, accountability, preventive measures and respect for the dignity and human rights of people living with HIV/AIDS. "If we take those steps, we can stop AIDS," he told delegates at the UN General Assembly.
