World AIDS Day
Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. The World AIDS Day theme for 2009 is 'Universal Access and Human Rights'. World AIDS Day is important in reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.
According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.4 million people living with HIV, including 2.1 million children. During 2008 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus and an estimated 2 million people died from AIDS.1 Around half of all people who become infected with HIV do so before they are 25 and are killed by AIDS before they are 35.2
The vast majority of people with HIV and AIDS live in lower- and middle-income countries. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any way for me to get the footage of the video of 'the day after that' as I participated in it (I appear a split second in minute 3:29), I am the guy with the plaid shirt and my hands also appear at minute 3:48 and I have been looking for this video for a long time and when I wanted to contact the director of the video Kevin Aucoin he had died. My email is mark.aumoine@gmail.com
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Mark
