December 1, 2014, marked the 26th anniversary of World AIDS Day, which was created by the World Health Organization in 1988 to recognize the status, celebrate the achievements, and identify the needs to reduce rates of infection and improve health outcomes for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). It has been 33 years since the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) first reported on unusual patterns of disease in otherwise healthy young gay men. To date, 636,048 Americans have died due to HIV/AIDS.1
