See map below. Yes, DC is a city, not a state but it's rate of HIV wildly surpasses that of any state.
I work as a public health RN and have had patients who died of opportunistic infections and AIDS this year (yes, in 2024).
It remains a very real issue.

Interesting.
What's up with Georgia being so much higher than everywhere else?

HIV is treatable, not curable.

It's actually becoming curable.

Viral loads are suppressed with medication, but will increase if medication is stopped.

There is no cure for HPV. Women die from it.

Isn't there a vaccine?

Sure. But a girl has to depend on her parents to get it for her, and they may not. And she may contract it before she has a chance to get it herself.

Easy solution for that!
