World AIDS Day is December 1.
All Men Make a Difference .
The theme was chosen to challenge men to change the course of the AIDS epidemic. The majority of HIV infections worldwide occur during heterosexual sex. The theme is part of a new campaign aimed to involve men more fully in the fight against AIDS and to bring about a new, much-needed focus on men in the national response to the epidemic. This puts them, and their partners, at heightened risk. Although not all men engage in high-risk behaviors, without men the HIV virus would have little opportunity to spread.
