28 November - At the end of today's general audience, which was held in the Paul VI Hall, the Pope launched an appeal for everything possible to be done to halt the spread of AIDS. "December 1," he said, "marks World AIDS Day. I remain spiritually close to everyone suffering from this terrible sickness, and to their families, especially those who have lost a loved one. To everyone I give assurances of my prayers.

"Furthermore, I wish to exhort all people of good will to increase their efforts to halt the spread of the HIV virus, to combat the disdain which is often directed towards people who are affected by it, and to care for the sick, especially those who are still children." AG/AIDS APPEAL/...

FREINER LE SIDA CITE DU VATICAN, 28 NOV 2007 (VIS). A la fin de l'audience générale, le Pape a lancé un appel afin que l'on épargne aucun effort pour freiner la diffusion du Sida: "Le 1 décembre sera la Journée mondiale contre le Sida, et je désire exprimer ma solidarité à tous ceux qui souffrent de cette maladie et à leurs familles, en particulier celles qui ont perdu un être cher. Je prie pour toutes ces intentions. Je veux aussi encourager toutes les personnes de bonne volonté à redoubler d'efforts pour freiner la diffusion du virus, combattre les préjugés qui frappent souvent ces malades, les soutenir, surtout lorsqu'il s'agit d'enfants".
