World Aids Day 1st December.

30 Nov 2009

According to UNAIDS, there are 33.4 million people living with HIV, including 2.1 million children. During 2008 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS related illnesses before they are 35. Wear your ribbon tomorrow, available from GAP, H&M and MAC counters and more highstreet retailers.... The Red Ribbon is the international symbol of support for people living with HIV. Wearing a red ribbon is a great way to raise awareness about HIV as well as to break down stigma and prejudice..

Thanks for this Virgogirl. I wasn't aware tomorrow was the day so I appreciate your post. It seems it is no longer "fashionable" to think about HIV/AIDS but it still thrives and awareness must be continued.
