World AIDS Day

Today is World AIDS Day. Today is aimed at raising awareness for the disease. The World Health Organization established World AIDS Day in 1988 and it is planned and organized by the World AIDS Campaign each year.

For World AIDS Day Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a new initiative called Brooklyn Knows. It is a community based testing effort that aims to help Brooklyn residents learn their HIV status over the next four years. Today is a great day to get involved in your community.
