Friday, December 1st marks the 30th World AIDS Day. One aim of the event is to show support for people living with HIV, the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. Another aim is to remember the people who have died from conditions related to AIDS. Since 1984, about 35 million people have died from HIV and AIDS-related diseases. This number makes "it one of the most destructive pandemics in history," according to the World AIDS Day website. The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, or UNAIDS, released a report before the World Day observances on Friday. The report noted progress in containing HIV. It said 21 million people who have the virus are getting treatment. That number is more than half of all people living with HIV. The UN's goal is to end the AIDS pandemic by 2030.
