Today is World Aids Day, an international day of awareness for HIV and AIDS. In many areas of the world including our own, HIV and AIDS pose serious threats to humanity and to the millions of innocent children, mothers, fathers, and families that contract the disease unknowingly and unwillingly each year. Today we also honor those who have succumbed to the disease as we continue to fight for a cure.
