As many of you may know, it is World Aids day. A day for promoting those with AIDS/HIV and it in general.

Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS or Aids) is a collection of symptoms and infections resulting from the specific damage to the immune system caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in humans, and similar viruses in other species (SIV, FIV, etc.). The late stage of the condition leaves individuals susceptible to opportunistic infections and tumors.

The full article on wikipedia about AIDS is here.

There are now 33.2 million people living with HIV worldwide and more than 70,000 people living with HIV in the UK.
This is portrayed well by this youtube video.
