that means more teenagers are contracting the disease explained Ms Benson Regional Health Department statistics show 79 people with the HIV virus and AIDS Ms Benson didnt have the statistics for

infections or cancers The virus is found in the blood semen or vaginal fluid of an infected person The poster also includes a boxed message which states AIDS is here AIDS is forever Consider the consequences AIDS can hap pen to anyone It only takes once The message is meant to dispel the myth that AIDS cant affect kids in Halton that it doesnt infect young people and only infects the
