World Aids Day

December is such a special month! Not just because it is the time of year in which we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, but also because December 1 is World AIDS Day. HIV/AIDS is still the greatest crisis of all time, killing millions every year, and leaving millions of orphaned and vulnerable children behind. In the middle of this tragedy, Christians have the opportunity to make the love of our Savior real to anyone infected or affected by HIV and AIDS. One of the ways you can show that you care is by remembering those who have died, pray for those who are currently living with HIV and AIDS, pray for breakthroughs in a possible vaccine for HIV. The simplest way you can help fight the HIV/AIDS pandemic is to know your own HIV status. Most people with HIV have been living with the virus for up to nine years before they know their status. Get informed and stop the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
