World AIDS Day - December 1

1^st of December – World AIDS Day.Me and my classmates went to school earlier ( at 7:20 a.m).We went to the main door.We distributed the roles that everyone takes,some of us were giving the condoms(like me),others were giving flyers about AIDS and the the other were putting stigmas.I am so happy that I took part in this action,because after this I was feeling useful,because I knew that I did something beneficial for the whole world.

Now it is 21^st century and everybody should be informed about the AIDS distribution , but unfortunately it is not like this.For example people in Africa do not know anything about HIV and AIDS.One of my dreams is when I graduate to go in Africa and talk with the local people and tell them something about the AIDS,I hope my dream will come true one day,because there are MILLIONS of people dying every day,because they are not informed about it.There are people in the developed countries,which know about it and they are still inattentive.

Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. The World AIDS Day theme for 2010 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. World AIDS Day is important for reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.3 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2009 some 2.6 million people became newly infected with the virus and an estimated 1.8 million people died from AIDS.
The vast majority of people with HIV and AIDS live in lower- and middle-income countries. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.(took from http://www.avert.org/world-aids-day.htm )
