Over 34 million people worldwide are living with HIV, and 2.5 million more become infected every year. And yet, thanks to the committed research of scientists around the world, AIDS is no longer a death sentence.
We still have a long ways to go before we find a safe and effective cure for AIDS or a vaccine for HIV, but we're making progress. In the past few years, scientists have made significant strides, even curing a handful of individuals in unique circumstances.
However, someone still dies from AIDS every 16 seconds. We need to make sure everyone around the world has access to safe and cost effective treatments. If we take a stand now and devote our time and energy toward HIV research, we can put an end to AIDS in our lifetime.
We're on the cusp of major breakthroughs, but we need to make sure researchers get the funding and support they need. Take a stand against AIDS and voice your support for the hard work and dedication of AIDS researchers.
