Headline: "Whatever happened to AIDS? It flashes across front pages and television screens every Dec. 1 on World AIDS Day -- but more and more, we in the U.S. tend to forget about it."
AIDS fundraising events report record low donations. U.S. AIDS prevention efforts are mired in debates over sexual ethics. Services that provide lifesaving medicines in the U.S. and abroad are running out of cash. Once considered a crisis, AIDS simply doesn't seem to be a priority any more.
Because it's mostly a problem in Africa and Asia... and it's the type of Crisis that is easy to Ignore.

I have a friend that organizes fundraisers for Orphans in Africa. AIDS has killed of many adults and their children have no living parents to raise them... BIG Problem because in some countries a quarter of the adults have AIDS.
