T h is year’s theme is “ A ID S: A ll M en— Make a Difference!” Because men rep resent the majority of people living with H IV/AIDS, they are being urged to increase their awareness o f the risk for them selves, their partners and their children and to use their influence in their families, am ong their friends and in their communities to help stem the tide of the disease. The global epidemic has become so alarming that the United States has declared A ID S a national security threat. About 850,000 people in this country now are infected with HIV.
