Officially, December 1 was the AIDS Day in 1988, although the first cases of the disease appeared already in the late 1970s in Sweden, America, Tanzania and Haiti. December 1 is still the very day when the whole world is reminded that HIV infection may be in the blood of each of us, and urge us to monitor our health.
