December 1 every year is set aside for the commemoration of the world’s AIDS day, to create awareness about the deadly virus and encourage those living with the disease.
Research has it that about 37 million people are living with AIDS, and many more stand the risk of contracting the virus if they do not go for early check ups or abide by the precautions given and totally avoid the spread of the disease.
This is exactly how Nigerians and people from other countries celebrated:
