HIV/AIDS AMONGST BLACKS IN OUR NATION'S CAPITOL
At least 3 percent of our Nations Capitol's residents have HIV or AIDS. "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."
Distinct from many current majority-black cities, DC has had a significant African-American population since the city's creation; several D.C. neighborhoods are well-noted for their contributions to black history and culture.
Casual sex and Infidelity play major roles in the AIDS epedemic in the Washington DC area. When asked about the city's AIDS dilemma, a young 25 year old African American woman stated, " The AIDS rate in our city will continue to increase if our values and morals about love, relationships and respect don't increase."

“One life”: CHICAGO—HIV-AIDS public awareness
By: rockthatboat
To many people, in our society, the understanding of HIV AIDS, as a disease, is limited to association with gay men and needle using drug addicts. It remains a disease where the victim is always at fault. This uninformed but sadly ubiquitous view is dangerous to all. Any of us can become infected. We don’t have to be a gay ...
