GRITtv: World AIDS Day: Access Saves Lives
According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.4 million people living with HIV, including 2.1 million children. During 2008, some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus and an estimated 2 million people died from AIDS. Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35. Avert.org is raising consciousness this World AIDS Day for the need for universal access to lifesaving HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention and care. Check out the video, with music from SDIA. If you download their song, "Going All The Way" from iTunes, a portion of the proceeds will go to Avert.
