From Health News Florida:
The number of HIV patients in Florida has steadily climbed over the past five years. During HIV/AIDS Awareness Month, professionals are spreading the word about risks and care access.
December is HIV/AIDS Awareness Month, and health advocates across the state and country are educating the public on the various treatment and prevention options for patients.
Florida is home to roughly 22 million people and, according to the Florida Department of Health and federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 128,000 Floridians are HIV-positive— the most of any state.
