New York Theater: Today is World AIDS Day. Since last World AIDS Day, there have been some 38,000 new HIV infections in the United States alone. More than 1.1 million people in the US are living with HIV, according to the Centers for Disease Control. (Basic HIV Statistics from CDC)
The death from AIDS of theater artist Michael Friedman last year at the age of 41 was a shocking reminder that, yes, people still die from AIDS — and yes it is still affecting the New York theater community.
