Today's World/ International Day against AIDS

Today the world wears red to raise awareness of the AIDS pandemic cause by the spread of HIV infection.

There's 33.3 million people living with HIV, over 2.6 million newly infected with HIV in 2009 and 1.8 million deaths from HIV the same year.

The overall growth of the epidemic has stabilized in recent years. The annual number of new HIV infections has steadily declined and due to the significant increase in people receiving antiretroviral therapy, the number of AIDS-related deaths has also declined.

That doesn't mean we are done fighting this disses, visit the  organizations to see how can you get involved and make donations; but more IMPORTANTLY, protect yourself and others, wear a condom and get tested, just because you can't see it, doesn't mean is not there.
