World AIDS Day - Stop AIDS Keep the Promise - “Leadership”
Abstract
World AIDS Day, observed 1st December each year, is dedicated to increasing awareness, fighting prejudice, imparting education and raising money to fight the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection.. AIDS has killed more than 25 million people, with an estimated 33.2 million people living with HIV according to 2007 UNAIDS global estimate, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history.
2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. Since 1988, the challenges and answers to AIDS have greatly changed. While many of these changes are encouraging, all stakeholders fighting against AIDS have to think how much more still need to be done.
