World AIDS Day

http://www.worldaidsday.org/

December 01, 2010

Objective:
World AIDS Day, observed December 1 each year, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection.

HIV/AIDS has been a global epidemic for more than 27 years. Most of today's youth have never known a world without it. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently published national HIV incidence (new infections) that showed much higher numbers that previous estimates. The time is now. Together, we can prevent the spread of this pandemic – through awareness, care, prevention, education and research.

On December 1st, individuals and organizations will recognize World AIDS Day. This year’s theme is leadership – from all sectors, including government, but also leaders among individuals and families, communities, non-profits and other organizations. The question is not should you participate, but how can you? Both NIDA and AIDS.gov recognize the leadership of Bloggers Unite and invite bloggers to join them in their mission to prevent and stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.

12/01/10 Protection

I hope all countries support the World AIDS Day and it's mission. There are still some Catholic countries who prevent the use of condoms and other protective tools to eliminate AIDS victims. I hope people will realize that AIDS is already here and all we can do is to prevent it from spreading. I'm sure God is also in favor with the aims of the World AIDS Day.
