World Aids Day 2012

I hope all of our readers enjoyed their Thanksgiving Holiday and spending time with their loved ones.  As December hastily approaches, we can expect the usual holiday shuffle of family, food and gifts, but there is one day that may not be on your calendar yet…

December 1, 2012 is World Aids Day, a day to remember those who have fallen to HIV/AIDS, as well as providing support for the people who are living and fighting it daily. The day is our chance to spread awareness to people who may not know how AIDS is transmitted, or how prevalent it is in our communities, or that together we can fight it and continue to live fulfilling lives.

On World Aids Day (for today’s readers is this Saturday), you can show your support by spreading the facts about HIV, many of which are posted here. Send out a tweet, post it on Facebook, take pictures for Instagram, however you reach out just touch someone with the knowledge that can save a life! Also you can wear a red ribbon, the international symbol of HIV awareness. It is a great time to raise money for an organization of your choice, such as the Balm in Gilead or Alliance of AIDS Services.

If you choose to participate in Worlds Aids Day (and you should), feel free to send out a tweet that mentions @myHealthImpact, or a link to our site to help get the word out about our fight against HIV!
