“Knowing how to prevent

es the likelihood for HIV
infected people to lead ful
filling and productive lives,”
said Mendiola.
The annual campaign is
produced by the National
Association of People with
AIDS to encourage at-risk
individuals to receive volun
tary counseling and testing.
The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention
estimates that 180,000 to
280,000 people nationwide
are HIV-positive but are
unaware of their status.
Counseling and testing
enables people with HIV to
take steps to protect their
own health and that of their
partners, and helps people
who test negative get the
information they need to
stay uninfected.
