December 1, World AIDS Day, is an opportunity to take action. More than 1.1 million people in the United States are living with HIV infection, and almost 1 in 5 (18.1 percent) are unaware of their infection. By race, blacks/African Americans face the most severe burden of HIV. Through Facing AIDS 2013, you and your community can help reduce stigma and promote HIV testing by putting a face to AIDS. Visit the site https://facing.aids.gov/gallery/, upload your photo in an effort to encourage testing, end judgment and promote acceptance.
Check out the photo gallery to see who’s already facing AIDS.
