Today Is World AIDS Day (December 1st)

Posted by Juan

No celebration. no holiday. Just awareness, education and outreach

AIDS Ribbon

Every year on December 1 we observe World AIDS Day.  The day is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. Across the globe, people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS will hold remembrance and memorial services.

AIDS has killed more than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007 and an estimated 33 million people worldwide live with HIV as of 2007 making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history   Although we’ve come a long way in the fight against this deadly disease from education, prevention and treatement, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 2 million lives in 2007 of which about 270,000 were children. (Wikipedia)

To join in the observation I urge you to visit websites far more equipped to provide useful information on this topic including:

worldaidsday.org

worldaidscampaign.org

The United States Health and Human Service World Aids Day Site

There is so much we can do…
