Every 9.5 minutes another person gets HIV

In the USA ...

"There is a complacency…a false sense of security and a false sense of calm.
Every 9 1/2 minutes, someone's mother, someone's daughter, someone's father, someone's friend is infected with HIV."

--Dr. Kevin Fenton, director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, discussing Act Against AIDS, the CDC's new domestic HIV/AIDS campaign. (Washington Post, April 8, 2009)
