Haiti HIV clinics and the hurricane
I heard that a number of HIV clinics in Haiti were battered from the hurricane but all are still functional... Thank God..
Just read this in the news on 9/22/08.
In light of new statistics showing annual new HIV infections at levels higher than previously believed, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-09) have introduced a resolution in both chambers of Congress calling for a national AIDS strategy.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, using new methodology, recently estimated that 56,300 individuals were newly infected with HIV in 2006, a considerably higher figure than previously estimated. The CDC statistics are also evidence of the continued disproportionate impact of HIV/AIDS upon African American and Hispanic communities.
