Global ‘Aids Awareness Day’ being observed today

The world today observes ‘AIDS Awareness Day’ to highlight the facts and clear myths associated with the disease and help the patients in a speedy recovery. Reports suggest that one cannot catch the disease only by coming in contact with the patients or in looking after them. They also say that there is a serious need of understanding the causes behind the disease and spreading awareness to refrain from them. HIV/AIDS is an immunity-affecting syndrome that, if untreated, can cause gradual death of a person. It is primarily caused by unprotected sexual intercourse. It is stressed that one should remain limited to his/her spouse in sexual relations to avoid catching the disease and live a healthy life.
