For 20 years, a foundation has been trying to get AIDS awareness. That foundation has turned into a campaign. Today, that campaign still try's to bring awareness of the all mighty killer, AIDS.

"The 1st of December, World AIDS Day, is the day when individuals and organizations from around the world come together to bring attention to the global AIDS epidemic. 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day. Whilst we have come a long ways since 1988, there is still much more to be done." - World AIDS Campaign

The numbers are startling on how many people are infected. And when you consider the numbers, it's a scary number for daily infections.

"...there are now 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35." - Avert

2.5 Million means just over 6,500 people were infected each day in 2007...

Learn about AIDS and HIV. Learn how to keep safe. Then practice what you've learned. Pass it on. Knowledge is as good as its teacher.

Information about AIDS awareness can be found all over the web. But I've taken the time to get a list of 10 websites.

1. Avert


2. World AIDS Campaign


3. World AIDS Day 2008


4. US Dept. Human Services - World AIDS Day


5. United Nations - World AIDS Day


6. UNAIDS


7. Wikipedia


8. Catholic Relief Services


9. Center for Disease Control and Prevention


10. AIDS.gov

If I can do it, you can too. It just took me 15 minutes to get all the links and after the 3rd link I was already reading about AIDS myself. It's easy to look up AIDS awareness.

Good luck :)
