Thus, they are now being distributed to the public free of charge through clinics.Meanwhile, the World AIDS Day, the annual event which serves as a reminder of the global struggle to end HIV-related stigma, and a rallying cry to continue working toward a day when HIV is no longer a public health threat, falls on Friday (Dec. 01).<a href="https://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=95275" target="_blank">https://www.adaderana.lk/news.php?nid=95275</a></blockquote>
