Guinea-Bissau

Scott number unknown

An interesting set of stamps, of which includes an AIDS virus and ribbon. I have my doubts of the legality of these stamps and am currently investigating whether they are legally authorized.

Macedonia

Scott number unknown

This year Macedonia only released one postal tax stamp about AIDS. It's an interesting looking design though.

Sao Tome and Principe (St. Thomas)

Scott number unknown

St. Thomas has been very into making AIDS stamps over the past few years. Either their postal service is particularly with it, or someone (authorized or not) has figured out that AIDS stamps are collected by many. I remain suspicious that this may not be a valid stamp but have no proof one way or the other.

Tanzania

Scott 2535a-b

This is similar to another sheet from Ghana.

United Nations

Scott number unknown

This stamp is part of a six-stamp set touting the United Nations Economic and Social Council. Two stamps in each set will be from each of the three international offices of the United Nations. This particular stamp is for their Vienna office.

United Nations

These sheets were released to promote the UN Millenium Development Goals. The second image is a close-up of the icon on the AIDS stamp with interesting accompanying text.

The text on these stamp sheets was written by UN Secretary-General BAN Ki-moon and reads (in English, German, or French depending on the sheet):

"Eradicating extreme poverty continues to be one of the main challenges of our time, and is a major concern of the international community. Ending this scourge will require the combined efforts of all, governments, civil society organizations and the private sector, in the context of a stronger and more effective global partnership for development. The Millennium Development Goals set time-bound targets, by which progress in reducing income poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter and exclusion -- while promoting gender equality, health, education and environmental sustainability -- can be measured. They also embody basic human rights -- the rights of each person on the planet to health, education, shelter and security. The Goals are ambitious but feasible and, together with the comprehensive United Nations development agenda, set the course for the world's efforts to alleviate extreme poverty by 2015."
