December 1st is World AIDS Day. Women comprise 25% of all HIV and AIDS diagnoses in the U.S.

Despite attempts at awareness and prevention, over 11,000 women were infected with HIV in 2009.

Education and awareness of risk reducing options are of vital importance. The FDA Office of Women’s Health is offering free “Women and HIV fact sheets.”
