AIDS walk Boston is June 4th this year. If you are physically able to walk 6 miles... and believe me if I can do it anyone can, I will be forcing you to do it with me.
40.3 million people in 2005 have been documented as living with AIDS or HIV.
There were 4.9 million newly infected people in 2005.
3.1 million deaths were reported only in 2005 from complications of AIDS and HIV.
Since 1981 there have been over 25 million AIDS related deaths worldwide.
People 15-24 account for HALF of the new HIV infections worldwide - more than 6000 become infected everyday.
Of the 6.5 million people in developing and transitional countries who need life-saving AIDS drugs, only 1.3 million are receiving them.
1095 people are infected in Massachusetts every year, that's 2-3 a day.
I will be talking to people at school too, but please try to do this walk. It's not very hard and it's very worth it. You can visit www.aac.org for more information.
