Getting to Zero
As a nation, we’ve made great strides when it comes to our understanding of HIV and AIDS, thanks to the tireless work of HIV activists, health workers, and sympathetic lawmakers. Due to advances in technology, individuals with HIV and AIDS are able to lead relatively healthy and productive lives. We’re all looking forward to the day when HIV and AIDS is a distant memory, but for now, 1 in 4 people living with HIV in the U.S. is a woman. The numbers are higher in theDC region, where 30% of the affected population are women.
Here’s what we’re doing today:
Educate yourself, your family, and your friends about how HIV affects women by listening to WJLA’s segment for National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (March 10). Also, be sure to follow The Red Pump Project on social media to see the innovative ways they promote HIV awareness through fashion and fun.
