It doesn’t matter who you are.
You may be white, black, or brown; rich, middle-class, or poor; male or female; young or old, Christian or not, gay or straight — Anyone can be infected with HIV/AIDS. If you engage in high-risk behavior, you put yourself at risk to become infected.
While HIV/AIDS is not yet curable, it is preventable and treatable. We can help!
HIV/AIDS is increasing in the South.

HIV infections are rising dramatically in the South, even as they decrease elsewhere in the U.S.
A report by the Southern AIDS Coalition found that half of all U.S. AIDS deaths in 2005 were in the South, and more than half of all Americans with HIV lived in the region in 2006. More than 40% of new infections are in the South. The report is based on data from the CDC, state health departments, and academic researchers. (Download the 28-page report – PDF)
