Growth Through Adversity
Thanks for again making us aware of this. A time for sending love and healing to all that are and have been affected by this. I pray that some day soon it will be a thing of the past.
Remember!
Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important for reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 34 million people living with HIV. During 2010 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus, including an estimated 390,000 children. Despite a significant decline in the estimated number of AIDS-related deaths over the last five years, there were still an estimated 1.8 million AIDS-related deaths in 2010.
World AIDS Day theme
The theme for World AIDS Day 2011 is 'Getting to Zero'. After 30 years of the global fight against HIV/AIDS, this year the global community has committed to focusing on achieving 3 targets:
"Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS-related deaths".2
In 2010, there were 2.7 million new HIV infections and 1.8 million people died from AIDS.3 Moreover, in 2011 people living with HIV were still subject to restrictions on their travel and/or stay in 47 countries, territories and areas.
As AVERT.org shows, the global HIV epidemic is extremely diverse, with both similarities and differences between regions, countries, provinces and communities. However, in order to meet the challenge of 'Getting to Zero' the global community must work together to achieve universal access to HIV prevention, treatment and care.
World AIDS Day provides an opportunity for all of us - individuals, communities and political leaders - to take on the challenge of getting to zero.
In Loving Memory.

know your status.
Thinking of everyone afflicted with this condition and praying that the day will come, very soon, when we will no longer need a World AIDs Day as anything other than a remembrance, in the hope it will be a thing of the past. Sending my love to Michael and all people affected by this. Health, harmony, healing, understanding and peace...
