In our state, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services says there were 61 new cases of HIV a year ago. John barry, executive director of the Southern Tier AIDS Project, says the state’s strategy has three major components: esting anyone and everyone for HIV, getting those who test positive into treatment, and finally, making sure they stay in treatment.

“With a combination of continued condom use, more testing, immediate access to treatment and PrEP we can end HIV transmissions within a decade”.

Local organizations gathered at World’s Fair Park to mark World Aids Day.

World AIDS Day is now held every December first to raise awareness about the global AIDS pandemic and to honor those who have died from the virus. And thanks to President Obama’s leadership, bipartisan support in Congress, and the generosity of the American people, that number will grow to 12.9 people by the end of 2017.
