World AIDS Day 35: REMEMBER AND COMMIT

“The first World AIDS Day took place in 1988, providing a platform to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and honor the lives affected by the epidemic. Over the past 35 years, we have witnessed significant progress in addressing HIV/AIDS thanks to advancements in medical research, increased access to treatment and prevention, and a broader understanding of the virus. We have also seen a tremendous global advocacy community unite to take on challenges and hold institutions accountable for ensuring access to these advancements.”  (taken from http://www.hiv.gov/blog/world-aids-day-35-remember-and-commit)

May we continue to remember those we have lost and those who are living with AIDS or are HIV positive.
