World AIDS Day

I almost forgot that today is World AIDS Day. But at least I remembered. It's so easy nowadays to think that the situation is under control, with the global AIDS pandemic being pushed aside for much "trendier" diseases like Breast Cancer, and the avian flu in the news. With the advent of treatments and drugs that allow people with HIV/AIDS to live longer and richer lives, it's easy to forget that half a world away, that millions of Africans are living with AIDS with no hope of treatment. And even in our own back yard, AIDS is not eradicated yet. There are still millions of people out there living in the United States with AIDS, and they know no boundaries, as this isn't just a disease gay people and IV drug users suffer from.
