education and risk reduction. We will support our clients
in the fullest, and your help is necessary to fulfill

The Numbers are Frightening
Florida has one of the highest rates of HIV infection in
the United States.
Since
July '97 when name reporting began in Florida through
February '98, four thousand one hundred twenty-three
people have been reported as infected with HIV. This
means that approximately one in 172 people in
Florida are estimated to be HIV positive.
HIV
infection is growing faster in rural
couties than in cities.
AIDS is
the number one killer of nonwhite women
aged 15-44 in Florida.
