Patrice Henry was diagnosed with HIV in 1995. Now she is a patient advocate for women treated at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. (Algerina Perna, Baltimore Sun / March 8, 2012)
“The researchers found that in Baltimore; Atlanta; Newark, N.J.; New York City; Raleigh-Durham, N.C.; and Washington, the annual rate of infection was 24 per 10,000 black women. Nationally, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that black women become infected at a rate of 5 per 10,000.
The rate in Congo is 28 per 10,000.
Baltimore declared HIV a public health emergency in 2002, but the numbers of infected people continue to rise, particularly among at-risk groups, including IV drug users and gay and bisexual men.”
