This is amazing news! Of course, it's far too early to be jumping for joy about an impending AIDS cure, but it certainly is a time to be thankful for how far we've come. First this child, then ideally another one, and another after that, until HIV/AIDS is no longer the threat that it is today. It seems like it's within reach! If you haven't read this story, click here to do so.

While this is great news, it is still a reminder of the fact that there are people who are still suffering, and they need our help. In the United States alone, we lose ~18,000 people to AIDS every year. And in total, HIV/AIDS has affected sixty million people. That's 60,000,000. That's too many.

Keep spreading the word, keep raising awareness, keep doing what you can to help. It's not hard - places like until.org and joinred.com even have stores; buy a few accessories and help a worthy cause in the process. It's a win win situation, and hopefully in the future it's a situation we won't even have anymore. 

We're getting there, but we're not there yet.
