Liverpool Football Club has today given its backing to World Aids Day.

World Aids Day has been held on December 1 since 1988 with the aim of fighting prejudice and educating people about the disease.

Mark Haig, LFC's manager for Action for Health, said: "Liverpool Football Club are supporting this international health campaign because we're aware of the devastating impact that HIV has caused many people globally.

"We support the main messages of the campaign with regard to using protection and being aware to protect your future health."
