Join BlackMedina and BZoO HomeGrown Radio in bringing awareness to "World AIDS Day" today December 1st, 2005. World AIDS Day is about people getting the facts about HIV and AIDS. It's a day for people to get involved and there are many ways in which you can do so. Contact your local health organization to find ways you can help.

According to UNAIDS estimates, there are 38 million adults and 2.3 million children living with HIV, and during 2005 some 4.9 million people became newly infected with the virus. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.
