Every December 1st is recognized as World AIDS Day. Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome or AIDS is the advanced stage of the infection caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV. Over 1 million people nationwide have HIV or AIDS and 1 in 4 do not know they are living with it. There is currently no cure for AIDS however there are more ways to live a long full life with disease management.
