HIV awareness day - May 18, 2009

This artical was short and to the point. On May 18th, every year and all around the world the red ribbon is worn by communities who come together in rememberance of those who have fallen victim to HIV. May 18th is HIV awareness day and a reminder of how serious and deadly this disease can be. Because of the continual rise and increased rate of HIV infected people, a committed effort is being made to create a safe vaccine. Until then we must continue to educate ourselves and others on the prevention of this disease. This information came from The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
