Today is World AIDS Day. And although it’s been 25 years since the discovery of HIV, more people in the United States are infected daily than are treated.

Applying the (RED) idea to music, (RED)WIRE launches today, December 1st, 2008, World AIDS Day. For $5, half of which will go to The Global Fund, an organization that buys and administers medicine to women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa, every Wednesday users will receive an "issue" of the digital music magazine delivered to their desktop.

Massive auction for the World AIDS Day will include CDs autographed by Mariah Carey, Rihanna, Fall Out Boy, Carly Simon, Jennifer Hudson, Bon Jovi, Lindsay Lohan, and Amy Winehouse; signed books by Madonna, Lance Bass, Tori Spelling, Ann Bannon, and Oscar De La Hoya; posters signed by Jake Gyllenhaal, Owen Wilson, Patti LuPone, Debbie Harry, Melissa Etheridge, Liza Minnelli and Matthew McConaughey.

President Bush says World AIDS Day marks a day of both sadness and hope. Mr. Bush spoke after he and First Lady Laura Bush took part in a meeting at a church in the U.S. state of Maryland Friday, ahead of World AIDS Day, which is marked around the world each year on December 1.

This World AIDS Day, the HIV Medicine Association (HIVMA) is celebrating the good news from the United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) that the global case count is lower than previous estimates.
