World AIDS Day Dec. 1

On December 1, along with thousands of organizations and individuals, Until There's A Cure will observe the 22nd annual World AIDS Day.

2011 is the 30th anniversary of AIDS, and although we have made great progress over the past 30 years, our challenge is far from over. World AIDS Day is an opportunity for us to come together and recognize our shared responsibility for helping everyone affected by AIDS. Each year on this day, we remember those who were lost to the epidemic; we extend compassion and strength to those who continue in their fight; and we reaffirm our commitment to educate the public, care for those affected and support vaccine research.... Until There's A Cure.

On December 1, 2010 we will all stand together in the fight against HIV/AIDS.

WE ARE TOGETHER UNTIL THERE'S A CURE
