It is good to know,but unfortunately,the
people most at risk do not think these
stats apply to them!!Young adults and
teenagers are the among the fastest
growing group and they typically do not
practice safer sex or reduce the number of
partners.I have lost friends to hiv and it
is not a pretty way to go.Patty
