This post won't be long, the article says it all. There are sections of Detroit that have 3X national rate of HIV infection. So far, it's isolated in various zip codes in the city, but especially the LBGTQ youth.
Economics have caused huge cut-backs in numerous social programs. Access to medical care, mental health care, safe places & housing is allowing the virus to rampage. The young LBGTQ Black community is being especially hard.
With federal, state & private $'s being cut, the outcome for this city could prove devastating.
