Reply #3: And that map/info is from 2008

[nc4bo]

how much has the rate of exposure grown from 2008-2011? And for the same reason highlighted in the article (rates climbing among black, Hispanics and the poor), not much is being done to address it.

Forgive my use of the broad-stroke brush, not every Christian thinks this way but I do have quite a few Bible-thumping Xian acquaintances.

Not sure about where every one else lives but here, there's not much HIV/AIDS awareness going on. Certainly not enough to keep up with the spread of the disease. No one really talks about it in my little corner of the Bible Belt. Perhaps it's limited to the public health clinics, I just don't know.

I'm sure in many hardcore Xian minds, HIV/AIDS still wears the badge of being a gay-only/drug addict aka sinner disease and shouldn't be discussed in public.

More proof of how badly a single payer health care system is needed.
