What a sad and staggering statistic:
20% of people in the U.S. living with HIV don’t know they have it.
That’s 240,000 people. Almost a quarter of a million! And there almost 50,000 new cases of it a year. About a third of those who do know, aren’t getting the proper treatment, either!
├óΓé¼┼ôThe HIV crisis in America is far from over. Closing the gaps in testing, care, and treatment will all be essential to slowing or reversing the US AIDS epidemic.”
So scary. What we need is for people to realize that they need to be tested, and tested regularly!
If you have it — it’s not the end of the world. You can survive and live with it. Just ask Magic Johnson after 20 years.
Get tested!
