03/15/2009: "HIV/AIDS Rate in D.C. Hits 3%"

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."

[ If you read further you can see this is due to unprotected promiscuous sex (as well as drug abuse). For some reason these predominantly black people have a difficulty in practicing the level of sexual restraint that whites practice without any need to suppress their desires. ]
