Washington DC-Highest HIV Infection Rate

That news was announced awhile ago but still holds true. Its sad to see in our Nations Capital, where world decisions are made and politicians roam the streets. Where billions of dollars are negotiated but barely a block away lays the Countries worse HIV infection problem.
And it’s not just a problem in DC proper, 47% of the regions AIDS cases are located outside the District of Columbia. Virginia & Maryland are experiencing higher cases of HIV infections. With the Government repealing the Needle Exchange Law and funding being cut in many health related areas, we are worried that all the gains that were made will be erased.
