World AIDS Day was today. The first day was on Dec. 1st 1988 about 20 years ago. It was formed with the help of WHO, UN. I think the establishment of World Aids Day is a great thing because it gives us a moment to self reflect on the horrifying statistics of this deadly epidemic, and hopefully allows politicians around the globe to revisit the policies in place and to see how they can some how increase funding and effectiveness of AIDS prevention programs.
There are roughly 33 million people with AIDS living in the world today and ~25 million have been killed by it.
