You probably know someone who is HIV positive, whether you know it or not. |
|
As of the end of 2005, a total of 40 million people were living with HIV. |
|
Of these, 37.2 million were adults, 17.6 million were women and 2.3 million were children less than 15 years of age. |
|
Total deaths of persons reported with AIDS are 3.1 million. |
|
Since 1985, almost 14,000 people have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in Colorado. |
|
Through the end of October 2004, there were 32 new cases of HIV/AIDS diagnosed during the year in El Paso County. |
|
Of all these cases, 100% were members of our families, friends, and communities. |
|
With HIV positive people living longer, there is an increasing need for ongoing support, as well as an increasing need for prevention and education. |
|
It’s not over yet. |
