Since HIV/AIDS was first documented in 1981, more than 25 million people have died of AIDS-related deaths.  Today, the world has the tools, knowledge and resources to fulfill the promise of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to halt or reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015.  But we need your help!

World AIDS Day is December 1, and educating your classroom about the spread of the pandemic will help in the fight to stop AIDS!
