World Aids Day

There are 33.2 million people living with HIV and 6,800 more people becoming infected everyday. This is primarily because of inadequate access to HIV prevention and treatment services, things that we can do something about.

Please use this year's World AIDS Day the way it was intended: to raise awareness and to remind those around us that our actions make a difference in ending this epidemic.
