World AIDS Day 国际艾滋病日
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.国际艾滋病日始于1988年12月1日，旨在为艾滋病患者筹集资金，帮助人们增强艾滋病意识，反对偏见和歧视，提高教育水平。国际艾滋病日的存在，提醒着人们艾滋病毒并没有远离，我们能做的还很多。
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.根据联合国艾滋病规划署的统计，目前世界上有3400万的艾滋病毒携带者。2010年全球又有270万的人新感染上病毒，其中有39万为儿童。尽管在过去的五年里，因艾滋病而造成的死亡人数已经大幅减少，但是2010年全球仍有180万患者因病死亡。
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国家，但是今天艾滋病已经是全球人类的巨大威胁。

Theme 主题
The theme for World AIDS Day 2011 is 'Getting to Zero'. After 30 years of the global fight against HIV/AIDS, this year the global community has committed to focusing on achieving 3 targets: "Zero new HIV infections. Zero discrimination. Zero AIDS-related deaths".2011年国际艾滋病日的主题为“朝零艾滋迈进”。在全球人民跟艾滋病奋战了30年的今天，今年人们承诺重点实现三个目标：零新增感染、零歧视、零相关死亡。
小编有话说：艾滋病的缩写是AIDS，在英语中 aid 是帮助、援助的意思。艾滋病人不是洪水猛兽，给他们个温暖的拥抱，告诉他们，你们并不孤单。 |
