AIDS WALK 2007

Did you know that…

    * Between 40,000 to 60,000 people are newly infected with HIV every year?
    * Half of those newly infected are under the age of 24?
    * 25% of those newly infected do not know it?
    * New York AIDS cases account for approximately 18% of all case in the US?


Despite advancements made in the treatment and prevention of HIV, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the overall rate of infection continues to rise. This year,Lambda Theta Phi formed a team for AIDS Walk New York to help those in our community either affected or infected by HIV/AIDS.
