December 1st, the day we are invited to remember the scourge that is HIV/AIDS.

With no cure, and with lots of new cases emerging worldwide all the time, this is one of the big killers in some of the world's poorest and most vulnerbale communities.  Whatever the transmission route, be it breast milk, be it shared needles, be it unsafe sex, there are real human stories behind the data, and plenty of innocent victims of other people's choices.

According to the AVERT website there are around 100,000 people in the UK living with HIV/AIDS - that's one heck of a lot of families... makes you think.
