World AIDS Day
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.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections in India has declined drastically in recent years — from 5.5 million in 2005 to below 2.5 million in 2007 and in India, every year approximately 2000 people killed by HIV infection. And around 124 thousand NGOs are working for AIDS awareness; means on a single death 62 NGOs are working and AIDS budget per year is approximately 380 hundred thousand thousand rupees that is 19 hundred thousand rupees per death.
Where as cancer is spreading much larger every year 2 hundred thousand people killed due to cancer and each death 3896 rupees are spend.
Why? Government spend so much money for HIV? I think it is only to happy some medi-tycoon how are sitting in US assembly.
They create havoc for AIDS and earning huge money through it.
