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.

Yes, we need to remember those we lost to that horrible disease! Sadly, that number included two of my cousins. They were wonderful young men…..
