This article talks about a county of less than 40K in North Carolina. Scotland County has joined the top 10 for HIV cases. It's a small county & it's doubtful their coffers are overflowing. Repeatedly these small areas are being hit with booms in HIV numbers. I won't be surprised to find out this area has a serious IV drug problem. It fits the pattern.
These small places aren't ready or capable of dealing with this level of HIV. They're not really capable of with HIV at all. Most of they lack the funds, know-how, man power or an attitude capable of dealing with this in an appropriate manner. Another interesting thing about these counties, is that they're all predominately Conservative Republican. Chew on that GOP.
So same story, different town. I doubt this is going to end any time soon.
Cya...
