Conversely, in countries with legal protection and the protection of human rights for these people, many more have access to services. As a result, there are fewer infections, less demand for antiretroviral treatment and fewer deaths. Not only is it unethical not to protect these groups; it makes no sense from a health perspective. It hurts all of us.” Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, August 2008 UNAIDS Action Framework: Universal Access for Men who Have Sex with Men and Transgender People, 1 2009 1 UNAIDS Action Framework: Universal Access for Men who Have Sex with Men and Transgender People.

A 1932 graduate of the University of Kansas, Ms. Sharp was an educator in the Kansas City area for 40 years. She earned her Master’s degree in education in 1946.
