Washington DC's AID Rate.

So, ya'll know I always got some slick shit to say. Let me start off by saying the amount of times I've seen this topic today is crazy. I'm seeing it on Media Takeout, on other people's blogs, on myspace statuses (and not to knock nobody, cuz I'm glad you're doing your part to inform the uninformed). BUT DC has ALWAYS been one of the highest in the rankings when it comes to AIDS, STDs, whatever, you name it, its here. What makes ME sad is not that its now out done Africa, but that so few people knew about it before today. Like this isnt something new, why is this JUST being brought to people's attentions? Just goes to show how uninformed people truly are, hopefully this will bring a change.
here are the numbers just so you can understand what's going on:

At least 3 percent of District residents have HIV or AIDS, a total that far surpasses the 1 percent threshold that constitutes a "generalized and severe" epidemic, according to a report scheduled to be released by health officials tomorrow.

That translates into 2,984 residents per every 100,000 over the age of 12 -- or 15,120 -- according to the 2008 epidemiology report by the District's HIV/AIDS office.

"Our rates are higher than West Africa," said Shannon L. Hader, director of the District's HIV/AIDS Administration, who once led the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's work in Zimbabwe. "They're on par with Uganda and some parts of Kenya."

"We have every mode of transmission" -- men having sex with men, heterosexual and injected drug use -- "going up, all on the rise, and we have to deal with them," Hader said.
