In the United States, there are approximately 1.2 million people who are living with HIV/AIDS. And every 9.5 minutes someone is infected with AIDS. If you are looking for a way to support charities that are searching for an AIDS cure or that assist people who have contracted the disease, the Humane Charity Seal of Approval recommends charities that are committed to providing vital services and care to patients or advancing research without the use of animals:
