[This is troubling on several levels - reposted from PlusMag Dec 10, 2018...]
"...Health officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Thursday that Atlanta remains in an HIV/AIDS health crisis and ranks fourth in the nation for new HIV diagnoses, WSBTV reports.
In fact, the HIV/AIDS epidemic was so rampant, that in 2016 it was likened to a third world country.
“Downtown Atlanta is as bad as Zimbabwe or Harare or Durban [All in Africa],” Dr. Carlos del Rio, the co-director for the Emory Center for AIDS research, said in 2016.
At issue is the limited funding and that is part of what causes the epidemic continues to spread.
(Another problem was a lack of leadership and mismanagement in Fulton County.
A 2015 Fulton County internal audit of their HIV Prevention Program cited poor management after the county squandered millions of CDC grant dollars meant for HIV programs.
Ultimately the county had to return millions to the CDC.
...A recent study released by the CDC shows why that funding is so critical.
If you live in the southeast, you're more likely to be diagnosed with HIV than any other part of the country and in Georgia the risk of diagnosis leaps to one in 51.
"We should not be having an epidemic of that proportion in a country like ours," del Rio said. "This is not Africa, we have resources."
Fulton County now has a new public health director and HIV programs like mobile testing units are more visible around the city. The van travels to ZIP codes with the highest number of HIV cases.

...Atlanta has activists like Daniel Driffin who recently launched The Spot, a free, LGBTQ-friendly HIV testing site that will provide LGBTQ healthcare referrals and sexual health information.
“The SPOT was created to be a new solution of quality care for LGBTQIA folks who are not always comfortable at our traditional service providing agencies,” said Daniel Driffin, HIV activist and co-founder of Thrive SS.

im still wondering about this HIV shyt being just a gay disease thing.

We all have that one family member or relative that caught the bug and maybe even died from it.

Were all the people in your family who caught gay? or were some of them straight men?

IF they were straight then how you think they got it if only gays got to worry about the monster?
