As the world gears up to mark World AIDS Day on December 1, there are already a slew of events to mark the run-up. All through the year, we see doctors, experts and those who work in this field throwing light on different aspects of AIDS cases — how there are some problems which are unique to countries and the ramifications this disease has on society. There have also been extensive efforts to shatter myths about HIV/AIDS, and better educate people on unnecessary fear about HIV/AIDS.
