For the 25th World AIDS Day, President Barack Obamaexpressed hope, proclaiming that an “AIDS-free generation is within our reach.” “Each year on World AIDS Day, we come together as a global community to fight a devastating pandemic,” the president said in a proclamation issued by the White House. “We remember the friends and loved ones we have lost, stand with the estimated 35 million people living with HIV/AIDS, and renew our commitment to preventing the spread of this virus at home and abroad. If we channel our energy and compassion into science-based results, an AIDS-free generation is within our reach.”

Tommy Morrison, the former heavyweight champion who stood toe-to-toe with Lennox Lewis and George Foreman and later tested positive for HIV, died Monday. He was 44. Morrison died Sunday night at a Nebraska hospital, said Tony Holden, his longtime promoter and close friend. The family would not disclose the cause of death.

In a shocking confession, Dallas, Texas-based Larry Dunn (pictured below) told local authorities that he killed girlfriend Cicely Bolden (pictured left), when she admitted to having HIV after they had sex. According to 36-year-old Dunn, he had only been dating Bolden briefly, when she confessed to having HIV. Still, Bolden allegedly told Dunn not to worry because it was “not that bad.” In reaction, Dunn reportedly went in to the kitchen and returned with a knife, stabbing the Mother of two twice in the neck. And yet even worse was to come: Bolden’s two young children would be the ones to find her on her bedroom floor — naked from the waist down — with two gashes in her neck after school.
