Awareness is Prevention!

AIDS is a global pandemic that is impacting the developing world, the United States and people of color most dramatically.While African Americans represent about 13% of the total U.S. population, they account for 37% of the cumulative AIDS cases and 45% of the new AIDS cases. African American women have an AIDS case rate of 49.8, over 20 times the rate for white women who have a rate of 2.4 per 100,000 population. Georgia has an AIDS case rate of 59.1 per 100,000 in the African American population.
