Despite what many people may believe, the AIDS/HIV epidemic continues to have a devastating impact on families throughout the US; over 1.2 million people throughout the United States have been diagnosed with AIDS/HIV. Approximately 13 percent of these people do not even know they are infected. AIDS/HIV continues to have a disproportionate impact on racial and ethnic minorities and the LGBTQ+ community. According to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), over 51 percent of recent AIDS/HIV diagnoses were from people living in the South. Black and African American people had the highest number of diagnoses.
However, an HIV/AIDS diagnosis does not have to destroy your life or the lives of those around you. With the right assistance, you can find your way towards a brighter future. H.Y.P.E. to Empower offers a range of AIDS and HIV services to young people living with HIV and their families. Based in Atlanta, GA, H.Y.P.E. to Empower is an HIV health education service provider and youth development and advocacy organization. Please contact our team today for more information on our services.
