CANFAR's 30 Days for 30 Years: Day 2

DAY 2

Did you know that half of Canadian grade 9 students believe there is a cure for AIDS?*

Unfortunately, there is no cure.

In fact, that's the reason CANFAR exists. We are determined to find a vaccine or cure for AIDS. We know that research is the only way to do that.

This June marks the 30th anniversary of the first diagnosis of AIDS. 30 Days for 30 Years is CANFAR’s month-long commemoration of this anniversary. Throughout the series, we will be providing you with photos, videos and statistics from AIDS over the past three decades.

To help us ensure that we do not reach 60 years of this disease, share 30 Days for 30 Years with your friends. Facebook and Twitter are great tools to utilize.

Here are a few messages to help get the ball rolling:

• Half of CAN Gr. 9 students wrongly believe there is a cure for AIDS. There isn't. Not yet. Help CANFAR find one. (www.canfar.com)
  
• Half of Canadian grade 9 students wrongly believe there is a cure for AIDS. (www.canfar.com)
  
• 30 years later, AIDS miseducation still exists. (www.canfar.com)
  
• Half of Canadian grade 9 students wrongly believe there is a cure for AIDS. What half are you? (www.canfar.com)

There is no vaccine, no cure. Not yet. We need your help. Share our message and take part in ending AIDS.
