This year, nearly half a million children born with HIV.
By 2015, that number could be zero. Imagine - the first generation of children in 30 years to be born without HIV.
When the disease began to ravage people around the world, the Internet as we know it was an infant, mobile phones costing $ 4,000 and the idea of \u200b\u200ban open, global exchange of information with a few keystrokes was only a dream.
Now, a Tweet can reach millions of people in seconds.
Today is World AIDS Day, and our friends in (RED) are using Twitter in a creative way plugging tweets with the tag # turnred tweet in a dynamic map on their site. It 'a small step towards making the dream of a free generation a reality in 2015.
Each time a user tag your tweets with # turnred on World AIDS Day, the map turns red. The displaying of data was developed by Ushahidi and (RED) .
In Italy follow the Italian League for the Fight Against AIDS (LILA) for news and information on fighting the virus and to give or receive help.
On January 1, 2015 we hope to share the news that no child was born that day with HIV. The real hope in our world.
