| Thank you for contributing to raise money for the New Mexico HIV/AIDS Walk 2012! Proceeds collected will support five non-profit organizations in the state of New Mexico to increase outreach, education and direct services to people living with or at risk of transmission of HIV/AIDS. Each contribution collected is extremely useful to these organizations, and we commend you for taking the effort in fundraising to better prevent the transmission of HIV.
An estimated 21% of people living with HIV are undiagnosed.
Every 9.5 minutes, someone in the U.S. is infected with HIV.
African-Americans and Latinos are disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS. Blacks accounted for 45% of new HIV infections in 2006 and 47% of those living with the disease, yet they make up only 12% of the U.S. population. Latinos account for 17% of new infections yet comprise 15% of the U.S. population, while whites represent 35% of new infections and account for 66% of the total population.
Young adults and teens between 13 and 29 represent 34% of new HIV infections, the largest share of any age group. Black teens are disproportionately affected, representing 68% of reported AIDS cases among 13 to 19-year-olds in 2007
