AIDS
is a worldwide epidemic, and yet there is
conflicting information about what to do,
and who to believe.
World
AIDS Day was observed for the first time on
December 1, 1988, after a summit of health
ministers from around the world called for
a spirit of social tolerance and a greater
exchange of information on HIV/AIDS. World
AIDS Day, observed annually on December 1,
serves to strengthen the global effort to
face the challenges of the AIDS pandemic,
which continues to spread in all regions of
the world. This organized effort is designed
to encourage public support for programs to
prevent the spread of HIV infection and to
provide education and awareness of issues
surrounding HIV/AIDS.
Every day is World AIDS Day!
