New Report Finds DC Has Highest HIV/AIDS Infection Rate Of Any U.S ...
Washington, DC (AHN)-The HIV/AIDS infection rate in the city of Washington, DC has increased at an alarming rate, city officials said, giving the U.S. capital the dubious distinction of having the highest AIDS infection rate of any city in the U.S.
The report, which examined those who live in the District of Columbia, found the disease to be infecting people at an epidemic rate, including an increase in the number of infants, older adults, women, and heterosexual men who have contacted the disease.
According to the new report, more than 12,400 people in D.C. are living with either HIV or AIDS, translating to about 1 person out of every 50 being infected.
Washington D.C. is home to approximately 500,000 people, with African Americans accounting for over half of the population, at around 57 percent. more

Walk for AIDS, hepatitis at Calaveras Big Trees State Park
Sierra HOPE will host their 12th Sierra AIDS Walk, a hike for AIDS and hepatitis, on Saturday, Sept. 27 at Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
The walk is a major fund-raising event for Sierra HOPE, a nonprofit organization providing a variety of educational and support services for HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C in Amador, Calaveras and Tuolumne counties. They were founded in Sonora as the Sierra AIDS Council in 1990.
Sierra HOPE Executive Director, Jerry Cadotte, says that he often hears from local residents who participate in one of the large AIDS fund-raising events, such as the San Francisco AIDS Walk or the California AIDS Ride.
"I tell them: 'That's great, but we need your help locally too.' They're often surprised to learn that Sierra HOPE doesn't benefit from the big events."
Most of the funding for Sierra HOPE's services comes from government contracts and grants, but an increasing amount must be raised locally, through fund-raising and individual donations. more
