World AIDS Day is observed every year on December 1. Do you know AIDS? AIDS is a terrible disease. Right now, it is a deadly disease and so far, it cannot be cured. There is no pill, no vaccine, no surgery to make you better. HIV and AIDS has decimated the world we live in, and things are only going to get worse. So it is called "super killer". According to last estimate by UNAIDS, 40 million people have been infected with AIDS around the world. Every minute, five people get infected with AIDS! It is terrible, isn't it? Do you know about the red ribbon? It is called the "AIDS Ribbon". On this day people wear red ribbons to show their support and raise awareness. This started as a grassroots effort and there is still not one main manufacturer for the ribbons. The red ribbon unites people to fight against AIDS. You won't get AIDS from eating and drinking together with AIDS patients, shaking hands with them or hugging them, talking face to face with them, using the same toilet as them, or swimming with them.
