MEMORANDUM

Posted: November 10, 2015 05:07 PM
From: Senator Rob Teplitz
To: All Senate members
Subject: Resolution Recognizing December 1, 2015 as “World AIDS Day”
 
In the near future, I will be introducing a resolution recognizing December 1, 2015 as “World AIDS Day.”

As you may know, “World AIDS Day” has been commemorated annually since 1988. Today, the World AIDS campaign and the United Nations program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) continue to raise public awareness to promote nonjudgmental and nondiscriminatory access to HIV prevention, treatment, and care for all human beings.

Pennsylvania is ranked among the 10 highest in the United States in reported AIDS cases. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, many patients still have unmet needs for HIV primary medical care. Although the yearly occurrence of AIDS related deaths has decreased, there is still a need for increasing AIDS awareness since the number of individuals living with AIDS has been steadily increasing across the state of Pennsylvania.

Please join me in co-sponsoring this resolution recognizing December 1, 2015 as “World AIDS Day”
