Staff and Supervisors of Meera Spices organized the Aids Awareness Camp.
In 1981, scientists in the United States and France first recognized the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), which was later discovered to be caused by a virus called the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
HIV breaks down the body's immunity to infections leading to AIDS.
The virus can lie hidden in the body for up to 10 years without producing any obvious symptoms or before developing into the AIDS disease, and in the meantime, the person can unknowingly infect others.
Currently, an estimated 55 million people worldwide are HIV carriers, and three million a year are dying of AIDS.
