"AIDS has killed more than 25 million people between 1981 and 2007, and an estimated 33.2 million people worldwide live with HIV as of 2007, making it one of the most destructive epidemics in recorded history. Despite recent, improved access to antiretroviral treatment and care in many regions of the world, the AIDS epidemic claimed an estimated 2 million lives in 2007, of which about 270,000 were children." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_AIDS_Day
What can you do to stop AIDS? Promote awareness (share this post or create your own), wear a red ribbon (the symbol of AIDS awareness), contribute to organizations that provide relief and prevention services, etc.
