Celebrate World Aids day by spreading awareness and prevention!
From the LA Times:
Today is the 20th anniversary of the first World AIDS Day back in 1988. Worldwide, around 33 million people are infected with the virus — an earlier estimate of 40 million was downgraded by the United Nations in its most recent report, due to revised sampling methods.
There were 2.7 million new infections in 2007 (the stats on which the report is based), and 2 million died of the virus. More than 1 million people are infected with HIV in the United States.
