World AIDS Day December 1st - Have you been quizzed?

Think you know all there is to know about HIV and AIDS? Are you an expert on pregnancy? Do you know enough about condoms and birth control? Is there anything you don't know about sex? We have different quizzes on all these topics. Give them a try and test your knowledge!

According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.2 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2007 some 2.5 million people became newly infected with the virus. 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.

Around 95% of people with HIV/AIDS live in developing nations. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.

Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is not just about raising money, but also about increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
