I've been fortunate that none of my circle of friends or family died of Aids, but I'm in the minority for that. With 20 million victims worldwide, odds are that many of you reading this have been affected in some way by it.
I often point out to friends that in MS I have the immune system wrecker that isn't fatal. That's admittedly a small distinction, but I guess it's something...
Think of ways you can help, whether by supporting a research charity, or even by bringing meals to someone struck by HIV and unable to cook for themselves. Even small things help.
