National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness

Today we take a moment to acknowledge the women and girls infected with HIV/AIDS in our country and also worldwide. At the end of 2008, 31.1 million adults and 2.1 million children were living with HIV/AIDS globally, that's 33.2 million infected individuals.

At the end of 2007, there were 15 million AIDS orphans left behind when both parents who were infected and had died, leaving them alone in the world.

Let's take a moment to absorb the effects of this virus on our world, on our women and our lives and pray for those affected by its existence in their lives.
