World AIDS Day (December 1st) is also quickly approaching, so stay tuned for photos related to the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS. Be sure to send in photos of the important work you are doing in the field during these two world days! Bookmark and visit the Photoshare website to see our Photo of the Day.
