This article talks about how HIV rates in Charleston, SC, (USA) are on the rise. I'm annoyed at this news but not surprised. HIV rates in this country should be going down not up.
However, this is a southern city & the American South has long been a hotbed for HIV. There's a lack of funding, education & willingness for the state legislatures to really push in regards to health issues. (Too busy being ultra conservative Republican).
The major rise has been been in the ethnic community as well. I've talked about this matter in regards to the southern US before. The article goes into more recent detail on the issue.
Cya...
