Stop a moment to think at how you can help on World AIDS Day

Today it’s World AIDS Day. AIDS is not a distant fairy tale, it doesn’t just happen to someone else. I was shocked to aprise from the TV today that in Italy there is someone infected with AIDS every two hours. And this is news from one of the western countries, where apparently AIDS is not spreading very much as in the rest of the world. In South Africa the situation is much worse. Remember that AIDS is a threat that can be prevented and, one day, it will also be cured. Think about it for a moment, if you can support researches against AIDS, if you can help in any way, today is the day. Here are some of the organizations you can help:

World AIDS Day — UK based official site supporting the prevention of AIDS on global scale.

UNAIDS — Find out about the United Nation’s programme on HIV/AIDS.

Proclamantion from the President of the United States of America George W. Bush. This is from year 2001, but it is still very much relevant today.
