Every day, 7100
people are newly
infected with HIV
and 4900 people
die from AIDS related
illness.
UNAIDS estimates
that more than
34 million people
are living with HIV
Only 5 million
of these have access
to antiretroviral drugs,
to prevent them from
developing AIDS.
Stand with us and help make AIDS history
Did you know…………..
There are over 34 million people living with HIV worldwide (UNAIDS/WHO, 2012)
100,000 of those people are living within the UK (National Aids Trust, 2012)
1/3 of those people are unaware of their infection (National Aids Trust, 2012)
What we don't have a statistic for is the impact that HIV/AIDS makes on the life of an individual or the lives of their families and friends. Although not always in the headlines, HIV/AIDS continues to affect people everywhere. Stigmatisation of those infected with HIV often leads to fear of being tested which can result in an increase in infections and the continued spread of this preventable disease. Please stand with ACET to provide care, education and training around the world so that together, we can make AIDS history!

ACET (Aids Care Education and Training) is a compassionate Christian response to HIV and AIDS. We work through an alliance of locally managed Christian organisations in over 20 countries. Each project works in a way that is appropriate to local needs, but all provide:
- Compassionate, unconditional care for all who are affected by HIV, regardless of how they came to be so. We take a stand against stigma and discrimination and encourage acceptance of those with HIV.
- Professional life-saving education which encourages healthy lifestyle choices to minimise the risk of HIV infection, and gives young people confidence to resist peer pressure.
- Training of volunteers through churches and other faith based organisations.
