“The Hispanic community is the fastest growing minority population in the United States and is swelling church attendance numbers. Recent reports, however, have also indicated increasingly alarming HIV/AIDS statistics within the community.

The Centers for Disease Control cited that Hispanics living with AIDS in 2002 accounted for more than 20 percent of all people living with the disease. But Hispanics only make up 14 percent of the country’s population, according to the Rev. Luis Cortes, Jr, president of Esperanza USA.”
