"Wear a red ribbon to raise HIV/AIDS awareness, protect yourself and your partners -- the best way to stop the spread of HIV -- and if you are worried, get tested."
On World AIDS Day, individuals and organizations around the world come together to bring attention to the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of World AIDS Day.
