World aids day seems to be the most successful campaign around.. Some info about them..
World AIDS Day is observed every year on December 1st. The World Health Organization established World AIDS Day in 1988. World AIDS Day provides governments, national AIDS programs, faith organizations, community organizations, and individuals with an opportunity to raise awareness and focus attention on the global AIDS epidemic.
The global percentage of adults living with HIV has leveled off since 2000.
In 2007 there were 2.7 million new HIV infections and 2 million HIV-related deaths.
The rate of new HIV infections has fallen in several countries, but globally these favourable trends
are at least partially offset by increases in new infections in other countries.
In 14 of 17 African countries with adequate survey data, the percentage of young pregnant women
(ages 15–24) who are living with HIV has declined since 2000-2001. In 7 countries, the drop in
infections has equalled or exceeded the 25% target decline for 2010 set out in the Declaration of
Commitment.
As treatment access has increased over the last ten years the annual number of AIDS deaths has fallen.
