There are now 33 million people living with HIV worldwide; over 1
million people living with HIV in the US; and about 5,100 Middle
Tennesseans living with HIV.
The broad aim of World AIDS Day is
to bring to people's attention the challenges and consequences of the
epidemic - ultimately stopping the spread of HIV and improving the
lives of people living with the virus.
"World
AIDS Day gives us the opportunity to stop and glance through a global
window into other people’s lives to see just how connected we all
really are," says Tim Daniels, World AIDS Day producer and Healthy U
Program Coordinator at Nashville CARES.
