December 1 is celebrated as World AIDS day. This warning is intended to arouse our awareness of the AIDS epidemic caused by the spread of the HIV virus.
UNAIDS reported in the UNAIDS Report On The Global AIDS Epidemic 2010 that during the year 2009, 370 thousand children acquired HIV from their mothers throughout the world. This number decreased when compared with 2001, amounting to 500 thousand. This decrease, mentioned in the report, due to the efforts of some countries to prevent the transfer of HIV from mother to child. "Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, and Swaziland has provided more than 80 percent of antiretrovirals to prevent transmission from mother to child," said UNAIDS in the report.
Preventing is better than cure. Avoid AIDS by adopting a healthy lifestyle, especially the sexual life.
