World AIDS Day 2013 - A statement by HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius

11/29/2013 01:00 PM EST

When the World Health Organization established the first World AIDS Day on December 1, 1988, treatment options for people living with HIV were practically nonexistent, and AIDS was almost invariably fatal. Hope was in short supply, and there seemed to be little reason for optimism. I am grateful that the world is a very different place for the 25th annual World AIDS Day.
