HIV/AIDS Quiz
HIV/AIDS and You
If you don’t think HIV/AIDS is a problem – think again. HIV/AIDS affects us all.
In just over 20 years since the first clinical cases of AIDS were reported, 20 million people around the world have died from the disease. That’s something we should all care about.
There are now nearly 38 million people living with HIV/AIDS in the world. One out of every four of those people is between the ages of 15 and 24. Most of them don't even know they have the virus.
A lot of people think that AIDS is something that only happens to other people, in other parts of the world. But if you look at the figures, you’ll realize this is a problem we all must face...
One of the best things you can do to protect yourself from getting infected is to get informed. Knowledge is the most powerful way to stop the spread of the disease.
