December 1st is World AIDS Day. In the United States, over 1 million individuals live with HIV. More than half of that statistic are Black Americans. Greater Than AIDS seeks to educate the public about the importance of HIV/AIDS testing, safe sex and awareness of the issue at hand; it also works to reduce the stigma surrounding the disease. Considering there is currently no cure for HIV other than medications that can provide assistance in helping live healthy and happy lives, organizations such as this one are vital to the public.
