WORLD AIDS DAY!!!!!!!!!

Celebrating the World Aids Day, it is the responsibilities of all individuals on this small planet call 'Earth' to be aware of this dreaded disease which is ruining the life of millions every year.

For the public interest and benefit i would like to list down some recommendations by RENEW:

• find out the facts about HIV and talk to your friends, family and colleagues about HIV- make sure they know the facts not the myths.
• know your HIV status: get tested if you have put yourself at risk.
• Talk to all new sexual partners about using condoms. Using a condom during the sex 9esp.vaginal & anal sex) is the best way to protect yourself and your partner from HIV and other STIs.
• If you come to know that someone is HIV positive, treat them with respect and dont tell others without their agreement.
• Wear a ribbon as a symbol of your support for every one affected by HIV, and to raise awareness.

World statistics on AIDS:

• 4.7 million in Asia
• 2.5 million in India
• 185 individuals in Bhutan.

First HIV detected in Bhutan- 1993 and 37 deaths till date.
