Tomorrow, Dec. 1, is World AIDS Day. It’s a time for us all to reflect on this pandemic and the strides made fighting its destructive influence: in terms of medical advances, increasing longevity of victims, and attitudinal changes as it has become clear that all people are in danger of being affected, not just those who choose to participate in risky behavior. This disease that was once considered “God’s vengeance on evil people” is being increasingly looked at as itself an evil to be eradicated and those with HIV/AIDS as our brothers and sisters in need of help and compassion. May this be one of the last years a World Aids Day is necessary.
