    Default Light a candle and raise money for HIV

    Today, Bristol-Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical monolith that charges nearly $1,000 for a 30 day supply of one of its HIV/AIDS medications, is donating $1 to the National AIDS Fund for each person who simply visits their website and "virtually lights a candle." The tally is near 800,000 now.

    Please, please take a minute to "light a candle":

    That's a good idea... I just did it. I'm gonna try again... I wonder if you can light it more than once from the same computer.
    Take the road less traveled- just make sure you have a map.

    ^^^ Just tried and you can't do it more than once from the same computer, but I have another computer downstairs that I'll to it from.

    Does it still work? I was told they were only donating on World AIDS Day.

    ^^^ I don't know if they're still actually donating money, but when I lit the candle, the number at the top left of the screen went up, so it's at least still counting every time a candle is lit.

    I lit one. It's something very important to me- my uncle passed away from AIDS over ten years ago now, and I am doing everything in my power to make sure that his (and everyone else's) death wasn't in vain. We need to find a vaccine/cure.
