1,000 Kids Get HIV Every Day - UNICEF/ U.N. Reports ...
...Worldwide, 410,000 to 660,000 children under the age of 15 were infected with the disease last year - mostly during or immediately after birth - the report said. Half of them will die of AIDS-related diseases within two years if they do not receive appropriate medical treatment.

Bodygaurd, this is the sixth single-link wire story you've posted in the 9 days you've been posting at all. Throttle down, baby.

I don't think that what you think MetaFilter is is really what you think it is.

Or: Dude, you're pretty much at the thickest end of the information wedge. My grandma forwarded me this link in a chain email last year.

Or, more succintly: [This is crap]

In the UK, BBC THREE is showing a programme called The Baby Borrowers in a bid to dissuade teens from having sex too early. A beneficial side-effect would be a decrease in the number of STD.

Bodyguard may be a "One-Link Wonder" (trademark Matty) at this point, but his post on the Googling Doctor was a nice find.

A frowny emoticon always makes me think extra hard about the seriousness of a viral epidemic.

Yeah, that was a nice touch. I don't think I've seen an emoticon in the RSS linktitle text before. IT MAKES ME WANT TO STOMP KITTENS AND PUPPIES RAARRRRRGH SMASH.

Well, I'm doing my part to infect more kids with AIDS, but I'm only one person.
