Every 12 seconds world-wide a person is newly infected with HIV...

Over 33 million people world-wide are either infected with the HI-virus or suffering from the disease itself - AIDS. And: world-wide, every 12 seconds a person is newly infected with HIV. For this reason AIDS is still one of the most life-threatening diseases for which there is neither a cure, nor vaccination. Therefore, protection against AIDS is now more than ever essential, even if ‘the face of AIDS’ has changed today!
