Today is the annual observance of World AIDS Day; an occasion where we remember the 25 million people who have succumbed to HIV/AIDS since 1981 as well as examine effective methods of treatment and prevention. According to the U.N. there were 2 million AIDS-related deaths in 2008 and “social and economic inequality” has facilitated the spread of the disease throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
The video below is a 2008 news report from Al Jazeera English that looked at the discrimination faced by Mexicans with HIV/AIDS and the health care issues related to the illness.
