O Fab Ones, TheYBF.com is commemorating World AIDS Day today. Read on for ways YOU can participate--big and small.
World AIDS Day (December 1) draws attention to the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic worldwide. In the United States, approximately 56,000 persons become infected with HIV each year. The National HIV/AIDS Strategy calls for 1) educating all persons in the United States about the continued risk for HIV, 2) implementing intensive, combined HIV-prevention programs in communities with high HIV prevalence, 3) ensuring access to services, and 4) reducing HIV-related health disparities (1).
Ways to participate in World AIDS Day
- GET TESTED! GET TREATED!
- Educate yourself about AIDS in any way possible--books, websites, and speaking to people with first hands accounts
- Promote World AIDS Day to others via your social networks
- Donate to the aid, research and cure efforts (Celebs have gotten in on the donation promotion as well)
Leave us comments about your story or how you--or someone close to you--have been affected by HIV/AIDS. Healthy discussions lead to healthier lives.
