Ending HIV: We Can Do This

A CDC study reported that new HIV infections in the United States continue to occur at an alarming rate, with an estimated 56,300 individuals becoming infected each year. Of all the new HIV cases discovered, at least one-third go undiagnosed (and therefore untreated) for so long that the patients develop AIDS within a year of diagnosis.

So we're asking our allies in health care to help.
• Please, talk to your patients about HIV
• Offer regular testing
• Share this message with your colleagues

And thank you for serving our community.

“No progress will be achieved by being timid, refusing to face unpleasant facts, or prejudging our fellow human beings -- still less by stigmatizing people living with HIV/AIDS. Let no one imagine that we can protect ourselves by building barriers between "us" and "them". In the ruthless world of AIDS, there is no us and them. And in that world, silence is death.” - Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General, December 1, 2002
