grateful to be a benefiting agency of AIDS Walk Wisconsin |

As
a nation, it is time to determine the direction we will take in
fighting this serious – yet entirely preventable – disease. One
direction continues down the dangerous path of complacency. The
other leads to a reinvigorated, accountable, science-driven effort
to ensure all people know their HIV status, and have the tools to
protect themselves and others from infection. The future of the
epidemic in the United States will depend on the choices we make
today.

At
the end of 2003, an estimated 1,039,000
to 1,185,000 persons in the United States
were living with HIV/AIDS.
Centers for Disease Control,
CDC has estimated
that approximately 56,300 people were newly infected with
HIV in 2006 (the most recent year that data are
available). Over half (53%) of these new infections occurred in gay and
bisexual men. African American men and women were also strongly affected and
were estimated to have an incidence rate than was 7 times greater than the
incidence rate among whites.
