From Jerry Kennard, About.com GuideNovember 30, 2006

December 1st is World AIDS Day. AIDS ranks amongst the most devastating diseases on the planet. AIDS has killed 25 million and infected 40 million men, women and children.

Kofi A Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations, has released this message:
'Accountability -- the theme of this World AIDS Day -- requires every President and Prime Minister, every parliamentarian and politician, to decide and declare that “AIDS stops with me”. It requires them to strengthen protection for all vulnerable groups -- whether people living with HIV, young people, sex workers, injecting drug users, or men who have sex with men.'
