To put that staggering figure in context, the disease takes over 6,000 African lives daily—approximately the same number of people as comprise the undergraduate population at Harvard College...

In the United States, AIDS is the number one cause of death for African Americans between the ages of 25 and 44, and black women are thirteen times more likely to contract the disease than white women, while black men are nine times more...
