World AIDS Day 1999 – 2008

AIDS has already killed more than 25 million people world-wide since it was first recognized in 1981. World AIDS Day is a day to focus attention on this pandemic that is affecting more than 33 million people around the world.

NIDA and AIDS.gov worked with Bloggers Unite to encourage bloggers to blog on December 1 on AIDS. Working together, everyone can reduce the stigma of this pandemic through words, voices and actions.

Focus on Prevention. Know Your HIV Status.

Since there is still no cure yet for HIV/AIDS the best thing to do is to focus on prevention and knowing your HIV Status. A unique campaign has been developed using text messaging to promote HIV testing.

Mobile phone users can send a text message with their zip code to “KNOWIT” (566948). Within seconds, they will receive a text message identifying an HIV testing site near them. This mobile phone service connects users with CDC’s testing database found at www.HIVtest.org.
