Today is the day to go red. Today is the day where you look stupid not knowing your HIV/AIDS status. HIV/AIDS has become epidemics over the years and has gotten worst. HIV ( Human immunodeficiency virus) which cause AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
"Here in the U.S., nearly one million people have HIV infection or AIDS estimated 1/250 people. At least 40,000 Americans become newly infected with HIV each year, and it is estimated that half of all people with HIV in the U.S. have not been tested and do not know they are carrying the virus. Since the beginning of the epidemic, AIDS has killed nearly 19 million people worldwide, including some 425,000 Americans." ( http://www.thebody.com/content/art32981.html)
I feel that HIV/AIDS is serious and a lot of people are walking around infecting others and not even knowing it. So now your status. December 1st National HIV/AIDS Day 2010.
