World AIDS Day (Dec 1st)

Each December 1, World AIDS Day, the creative community observes A Day With(out) Art, in memory of all those the AIDS pandemic has taken from us, and in recognition of the many artists, actors, writers, dancers and others who continue to create and live with HIV and AIDS.

Nick Debs said - “The loss of life is sad enough — to lose the meaning of these lives by permitting their accomplishments to disappear would be tragic…”


Information about AIDS:

:: 15,000 people are infected with HIV each day, the vast majority in the developing world. Twenty years into the epidemic, AIDS remains a global emergency that requires an effective response. A vaccine is the best hope to end this epidemic. The world needs an AIDS vaccine.

:: Impact of AIDS around the world.

What to know more about AIDS? I found that many people don’t know much (if anything) about AIDS - including myself. With that I decided to put together some information. I traveled around the Net and found interesting questions and answers and put together a small list of them together.

They’re very informative and I found myself knowing so much more after reading them. I would suggest you checking them out.

Do you have a story about AIDS?

Wow….. At first glance I am ashamed to say that I decided to merely glance at the information presented on the site today.

As I return tonight, I am blown away by the facts.

  • 95,000 kids under 15 are infected with AIDS in South Africa
  • More than 18.5 million people have already died from the disease in Africa alone
  • Thousands of people are contracting AIDS and dying from it everyday . I am embarassed that I never knew….

    Thanks Aaron.
