    World AIDS Day
    Bitched on: Saturday, December 01, 2007
    Time: 12/01/2007 09:40:00 AM



    While Singapore is still mourning over the untimely deaths of five young men, let us take a minute to remember that today, the 1st of December, is World AIDS Day.

    AIDS has taken the lives of over 30 million people worldwide since the first case of HIV was first reported 40 years ago
    and AIDS was declared an epidemic 25 years ago.

    These deaths are equally as senseless and cruel. And it will continue to claim 3 million lives annually if nothing is done.

    It is predicted that by 2025, 80 million lives would be lost.

    What we can do as ordinary citizens is to learn more about the disease and quench myths about the disease. And the last thing we should do is discriminate against those infected with HIV or AIDS.

    Remember, HIV and AIDS are not just sexually transmitted diseases.

    If you have the awful mentality that AIDS and HIV is some sort of a punishment for those infected, tell that to the 570,000 children infected worldwide. Or the 12 million children orphaned because of the disease.


    So spread the awareness, not the disease.
    The least we can do is care.

    Sign the pledge.
    Or support (RED).
    Read more about it at World AIDS Campaign 2007.
