Every December 1, it is World AIDS Day, but this is something that often goes overlooked. However, given the current health pandemic, it is important to look at all of the world’s health issues. In the 1970s, the HIV/AIDS virus began to run rampant, becoming serious in the 1980s.

Today is World AIDS Day and this is the 32nd anniversary.
