Lest we forget...
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) estimates that there are now 40 million people living with HIV or AIDS worldwide. In the U.S., close to one million people have HIV infection or AIDS, and 40,000 Americans become newly infected with HIV each year. Since the beginning of the epidemic, AIDS has killed more than 30 million people worldwide. Every 15 seconds, a young person between the ages of 15-24 becomes infected with HIV, and fifty percent of all new infections occur among this age grouop. AIDS has replaced malaria and tuberculosis as the world's deadliest infectious disease among adults and is the fourth leading cause of death worldwide.
In summary...
Let us all remember to TAKE CARE AND PLAY SAFE.
And lastly, if you're looking to show some love...
