The World Health Organization (WHO) has designated "Women and
AIDS" as the theme of World AIDS Day, December 1, 1990. WHO
estimates that more than one third of the 8 million persons
infected with HIV worldwide are women. On December 1, WHO,
governments, and nongovernmental and community-based
organizations around the world will mark this third annual World
AIDS Day with special events designed to increase information,
understanding, and compassion about AIDS and its impact on women.
