The International AIDS Society (IAS) is an independent association of HIV/AIDS researchers, professionals, and policymakers that promote dialogue and advocate for continued discussion and progress in the global fight against HIV/AIDS. The organization hosts the International AIDS Conference every two years as an opportunity for those working in the field of HIV to assess, evaluate, educate, and learn about the AIDS pandemic.
At the 2010 conference in Vienna, Austria, the Foundation published dozens of educational posters,
conducted a journalist training, and hosted several satellite sessions and a skills-building workshop. Foundation President and CEO Charles Lyons also moderated a
special session with Bill Gates on HIV prevention.

As I mark six months as President and CEO of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, I can’t help but pause and take stock. I’ve traveled to 6 of the 17 countries in which we work; participated in meetings with colleagues in the global health community, the U.S. government, and national ministries of health; and celebrated 20 years of outstanding work by the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
For me, what has become incredibly clear over these past few months is that the elimination of pediatric AIDS is possible.

by Heather Mason Kiefer, June 15, 2010
At the 2010 A Time For Heroes Celebrity Picnic, we debuted our new Tunaweza discs, specially designed for the Foundation by
Poor Cat Designs.
Tunaweza is a Swahili word that means, “Together, we can,” symbolizing the Foundation’s commitment to join together with its partners and supporters to eliminate pediatric AIDS.
Buy your disc now.
The sale of just one Tunaweza bracelet could help the Foundation to reach 13 women with the services they need to deliver babies free from HIV. That means that with your support, 13 babies could have the chance at a healthy, productive life.
You can purchase your own Tunaweza disc for $200, and 100 percent of the proceeds will benefit the Foundation’s lifesaving programs for children, women, and families.
Together, we can eliminate pediatric AIDS.
