World AIDS DayAccording to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 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 before they are 35.
Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.
Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education.
World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

par chez nous des scandales éclatent régulièrement sur l'utilisation de l'argent collecté (telethon, etc.) que ça devient très pénible de faire confiance. La lutte contre les virus et maladies devraient êtres des priorités de tous les états. Au lieu des guerres et autres magouilles économiques et politiques. C'est pas moi qui va changer le monde mais je me dis que si je commence de mon côté ça donnera peut-être des idées à d'autres... life is nice for the one who has the opened eyes (VL)
