Today, December 1st, marks the 20th anniversary World AIDS Day. People all over the world have been coming together on Dec. 1st to commit to end the AIDS epidemic. Check out some of the ways that governments around the world marked the day this year. Also be sure and go to the World AIDS Campaign website where you can pledge to increase your committment to ending AIDS. I recommend figuring out what you would feel comfortable doing and then going the next step further. We all have to work harder in order to end this disease.
Some of the countries where Outreach International works are facing terrible AIDS crises. One of those is Zambia, where almost one out of six people is HIV positive! Read how one community is working together to overcome the struggles of AIDS.

Sexual transmission of HIV has been described from men to men, men to women, women to men, and women to women through vaginal, anal, and oral sex. The best way to avoid sexual transmission is abstinence from sex until it is certain that both partners in a monogamous relationship are not HIV-infected. Because the HIV antibody test can take up to six months to turn positive after infection occurs, both partners would need to test negative six months after their last potential exposure to HIV. If abstinence is out of the question, the next best method is the use of latex barriers. This involves placing a condom on the penis as soon as an erection is achieved in order to avoid exposure to pre-ejaculatory and ejaculatory fluids that contain infectious HIV. For oral sex, condoms should be used for fellatio (oral contact with the penis) and latex barriers (dental dams) for cunnilingus (oral contact with the vaginal area). A dental dam is any piece of latex that prevents vaginal secretions from coming in direct contact with the mouth. Although such dams occasionally can be purchased, they are most often created by cutting a square piece of latex from a condom.
