Watch this – this is one of those videos that will make you think without putting forth much effort. I hope you like it as much as I did.

Today (December 1st, 2007) is World AIDS Day.  I wanted to share with you some statistics taken from Avert.org:

The latest statistics on the world epidemic of AIDS & HIV were published by UNAIDS/WHO in November 2007, and refer to the end of 2007.
  Estimate
People living with HIV/AIDS in 2007 33.2 million
Adults living with HIV/AIDS in 2007 30.8 million
Women living with HIV/AIDS in 2007 15.4 million
Children living with HIV/AIDS in 2007 2.5 million
People newly infected with HIV in 2007 2.5 million
Adults newly infected with HIV in 2007 2.1 million
Children newly infected with HIV in 2007 0.42 million
AIDS deaths in 2007 2.1 million
Adult AIDS deaths in 2007 1.7 million
Child AIDS deaths in 2007 0.33 million
More than 25 million people have died of AIDS since 1981.
Africa has 12 million AIDS orphans.
At the end of 2006, women accounted for 50% of all adults living with HIV worldwide, and for 61% in sub-Saharan Africa.
Young people (under 25 years old) account for half of all new HIV infections worldwide.
In developing and transitional countries, 7.1 million people are in immediate need of life-saving AIDS drugs; of these, only 2.015 million (28%) are receiving the drugs.

I hope all of you can take some time to read this stats and also take time to donate!  Please feel free to click here to donate to the World AIDS Campaign fund.
