國際艾滋病日：零感染 零歧視 零死亡

Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important for reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
國際艾滋病日始於1988年12月1日，旨在爲艾滋病患者籌集資金，幫助人們增強艾滋病意識，反對偏見和歧視，提高教育水平。國際艾滋病日的存在，提醒着人們艾滋病毒並沒有遠離，我們能做的還很多。

According to UNAIDS (The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS) estimates, there are now 34 million people living with HIV. During 2010 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus, including an estimated 390,000 children. Despite a significant decline in the estimated number of AIDS-related deaths over the last five years, there were still an estimated 1.8 million AIDS-related deaths in 2010.
根據聯合國艾滋病規劃署的統計，目前世界上有3400萬的艾滋病毒攜帶者。2010年全球又有270萬的人新感染上病毒，其中有39萬爲兒童。儘管在過去的五年裏，因艾滋病而造成的死亡人數已經大幅減少，但是2010年全球仍有180萬患者因病死亡。

The vast majority of people with HIV and AIDS live in low- and middle-income countries. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.
大部分的艾滋病患者生活在低收入和中等收入國家，但是今天艾滋病已經是全球人類的巨大威脅。
