title: HIV: getting action from our political leadership.
abstract: In this commentary on David Patterson's article on "Political Commitment, Governance, and HIV/AIDS," Justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of Australia reflects on how HIV/AIDS mobilized him and others in positions of power. He concludes that we are engaged not in a war, but in a great civil struggle, and that we have a moral duty to do what we can in this struggle.
