Every year, on December 1, World AIDS Day is celebrated around the globe. The day is meant to remind us of the impact of HIV and AIDS on the world's health.
On World AIDS Day, we emphasize the progress made in the battle against the epidemic, bring into focus remaining challenges, and to raise funding for HIV prevention and treatment.
The general theme for this day is: ''Stop AIDS: Keep the Promise.'' Each year, a related theme is highlighted, so the 2010 theme is "Universal Access and Human Rights" - a call to action to improve access to HIV care and treatment.
Just a whole lot of mindless stuff to help us pass the time....what more could you ask for?

Daily Pill Cuts HIV Among Gay Men by 44%
A LANDMARK study across four continents has shown that a daily dose of an oral antiretroviral drug reduced the number of HIV infections among sexually active gay men by 44 per cent, researchers said on Tuesday.
