The HIV/AIDS epidemic has already claimed over 20 MILLION lives.

An estimated 39.5 MILLION people worldwide are living with HIV/AIDS.

Youth are most at risk for contracting HIV and most are unaware that they are carrying the virus.

50% of the newly infected with HIV/AIDS today are young people, between 15 and 24 years old.

AIDS is the leading cause of death among those ages 15-59 worldwide.

15 MILLION children living today have been orphaned due to having lost one or both parents to the epidemic.

AIDS is not a gay issue only worldwide, women constitute about half of all people with HIV, almost 18 MILLION in total.

TEN PEOPLE PER MINUTE CONTRACT HIV.

AIDS KILLS ONE CHILD EVERY MINUTE.
