for Health Care Providers
World AIDS DAY -- December 1, 2011
Description of Campaign
An estimated 1.2 million Americans are living with HIV, and yet one out of five don't know it. World AIDS Day (December 1) is an opportunity to take action.
VA is the largest provider of care to those living with HIV/AIDS in the United States. VA recommends that every Veteran--not just those who think they are at risk--get tested for HIV at least once in their life. By diagnosing HIV infection as soon as possible, Veterans can receive excellent care and remain healthy for many years to come.
Join the VA in recognizing World AIDS Day. Say yes to the test. Make HIV testing a part of every Veteran's routine care.
