Lake Cumberland District Health Dept. encourages AIDS testing World AIDS Day is Thursday, December 1, 2011 By Amy Tomlinson News from Lake Cumberland District Health Department The Lake Cumberland District Health Department is sending the message "30 years is enough: Get educated, get tested" this year in recognition of the discovery of AIDS 30 years ago. The health department wants to raise awareness and education about HIV/AIDS and encourages people around the district to acknowledge World AIDS Day on Thursday, December 1, 2011 by betting getting tested for HIV. The local county health departments offer testing daily. World AIDS Day first began on December 1, 1988, and helps raise awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection, and honors those who have lost their lives to HIV/AIDS. It is estimated that there are now 33.3 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2009, some 2.6 million people became newly infected with HIV and an estimated 1.8 million died from AIDS. Since its discovery in 1981, AIDS has killed over 25 million people worldwide, making it one of the most destructive pandemics in recorded history. There are ways you can help: - Raise Awareness - Wear a red ribbon on December 1st and talk about HIV/AIDS with friends and familyFor more information about HIV/AIDS, contact your primary care physician or the health department at 1-800-928-4416. -AMY C.
