Kmar: Truth is my Bitch; +5,695|6903|132 and Bush

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."

It kinda makes you wish Congress had spent that $45 billion fighting AIDS here and not overseas.

You can't stop the spread of HIV/AIDS without increases in birth control and sex education.

It's Bush, he's tring to kill the blacks and homos. Just like when he made that stealth hurricane that hit New Orleans. But seriously, that's really bad. "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." Holy shit. That sucks

Yes, you can. It's called teaching personal responsibility and self control.

I'm hoping by that you mean the self control to go buy some condoms, and not the wait until marriage crap.

No I thought of all the possible solutions even the extreme ones. Deporting, quarantining, and executing HIV and AIDS patients wouldn't work. Since it'll be impossible to find every person and once it gets out to the general public what is going to happen to them if they get caught they'll flee and hide.

The most tragic thing about AIDS is how it could be completely eradicated in a single generation if people would use their brains

Not really, there are situations that are out of your control ie rape, condom breaking, etc. It could be greatly reduced though, problem is that because it takes so long to kill the person, it means that they have the potential to pass it on to a lot more people before they die.

AIDS doesn't kill. In fact it doesn't have any 'symptoms' at all.

I'm sure nearly all of the DC cases weren't rape related. If people would take the time to actually get to know their partner instead of screwing anything that moves, the STD rates would plummet.

Basically, know where he/she's been.

The sad thing is, DC probably spent more per capita on AIDS prevention/education than was spent in Africa. And DC's rate goes up, while Africa's goes down.

Similar to schools in DC.

And welfare in DC.

And <insert social program of choice> in DC.

Drugs is the largest spread, not sex.

Au contraire

The majority of HIV infections are acquired through unprotected sexual relations.

I have a very good friend who is HIV+ thankfully isnt at the stage of AIDS yet, when I visted him at the hospital it was really upsetting to see poeple around my age and younger effected by HIV/AIDS. I got talking to the guy next to he's bed he was 25 and contracted HIV from contaminted blood, he has/was a hemophilac. HIV doesn't care if your black/white/gay/straight etc etc
