World AIDS Day: Saturday December 1st 2012
Tomorrow is World AIDS Day. Each year on December the 1st people all around the world unite in the fight against HIV/AIDS. The annual day provides an opportunity for people to show their support for those living with HIV, commemorate those who have died and raise awareness.
2011 saw the highest ever number of people being newly diagnosed with HIV in the UK.
We need to raise awareness and educate others. As biology students you are in a good position to familiarise yourself with the facts and spread the word.
Look at the NAT website for information about HIV:
World AIDS Day
and if you do nothing else in response to this blog post, take this quiz:
Are you HIV aware?
You will notice your teachers wearing red ribbons to mark World AIDS day and you can get one of your own from me.
