December 1 marks World Aids Day and while we look forward to the day when this tribute will be a page in history, we honor those who have transitioned due to the disease and those who fight valiantly with it today. We honor families who can only live with the memories of those they loved and children who will never live with the loving touch of a beloved parent. We fight with and support those who work to eliminate AIDS of the face of the Earth-for good.Aids affects the global community and hurts African communities in disproportionaly larger numbers than any other community.
