	H.R. No. 172



	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the Texas HIV/AIDS Coalition are
	celebrating their sixth biennial HIV Advocacy Day at the State
	Capitol on March 29, 2021; and
	WHEREAS, The Texas HIV/AIDS Coalition is made up of partner
	organizations and advocates from Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El
	Paso, Austin, North Texas, the Rio Grande Valley, and other
	communities across the state; HIV Advocacy Day is a statewide
	effort to bring Texans living with HIV and those affected by
	HIV/AIDS to the Capitol in Austin to help bring visibility to and
	educate others about the epidemic; and
	WHEREAS, According to the Department of State Health
	Services, Texas is home to more than 86,000 people living with HIV,
	a reality with incalculable public health, social, and financial
	consequences; the agency estimates that approximately 4,500 Texans
	per year have been diagnosed with HIV throughout the past decade,
	which equates to about 12 new diagnoses each day; and
	WHEREAS, Although we have the medical and scientific
	knowledge to bring an end to this epidemic, there is still more we
	must do to address the social factors that perpetuate the spread of
	HIV, and the Texas HIV/AIDS Coalition is deserving of recognition
	for its dedicated efforts to support the fight against the disease;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
	Legislature hereby honor the Texas HIV/AIDS Coalition on the
	occasion of HIV Advocacy Day at the State Capitol and commend the
	organization for its work to improve the lives of individuals with
	HIV; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the coalition as an expression of high regard by the
	Texas House of Representatives.
