The ASU AIDS Awareness Week planning committee would like to invite the campus community to participate in our educational events taking place the week of February 11th - February 15th.
With Arizona’s HIV infection rate increasing faster than its population rate, and with more than one million people in the United States and 40 million people worldwide living with HIV, it is imperative that we prepare our students to actively respond to the challenges of this pandemic. Not only must they understand how to reduce their risk of acquiring the virus, they also need to understand the medical, psychological, sociological, and financial ramifications of this disease from an individual, community and global perspective. Please share our schedule of events for HIV/AIDS Awareness Week with your students and the campus community.
