On December 1st 2009 -- around the world and throughout the United States -- communities will come together to mark the 21st Annual World AIDS Day. Via the leadership of UNAIDS and under the 2009 theme "Universal Access and Human Rights," hundreds of countries and millions of individuals will take time to ensure we not only recognize the 25 million individuals lost to HIV and AIDS, but the 33 million global citizens living with the HIV virus today.
