text: Today marks the 13th annual National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day. According to the CDC, African-Americans make up just 14% of the U.S. population, but account for almost half of all people living with HIV. I will continue my efforts to promote HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, testing and treatment for all Americans. There is more work to be done, and each of us must do all that we can to eradicate HIV/AIDS worldwide.
