WE ARE ONE WORLD AFTER ALL..BE SAFE!!

World AIDS Day

This year marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. First observed in 1988, World AIDS Day was initiated by health ministers from around the world who called for a spirit of social tolerance and a greater awareness of HIV/AIDS on an international scale.

How many people are living with HIV? How many people have died of AIDs related causes?

According to the National AIDS Trust November 2007 statistics, there are:

*33.2 million people living with HIV

*Around 2.5 million new cases of HIV in 2007

*2.1 million deaths from AIDS in 2007

*22.5 million people are living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa

WE ARE ONE WORLD..ONE NATION..WE ONLY HAVE ONE LIVES TO LIVE..LIVE IT SAFELY!!

No matter who you are we all have to play it safe and speak!

We can make a difference in this world if we choose to, it's a cycle...it can be returned..help one another as brothers and sisters! We are one world, it doesn't matter of your race, background, gender, sexual orientation, even what your beliefs are-If you choose to live your life dangerously and not protect yourself and not want to open your eyes and speak, even knowing your status you'll fall.
