We came across this story about a new online map that illustrates the rates of HIV infections in counties across the U.S. Compiled by the National Minority Quality Forum, the maps showed high results in areas of the southern U.S., specifically Georgia, Virginia and Florida.
More from PRNewswire.com:
* The HIV/AIDS epidemic is concentrated in approximately 20 percent of American counties (556 counties of the 3,027 counties for which data were provided to the National Minority Quality Forum).
* The HIV/AIDS epidemic is widespread among two-thirds of the predominantly minority counties (comprising African Americans, Hispanics, Asians and Pacific Islanders) for which data were provided to National Minority Quality Forum.
* Atlas users can view the epidemic in New York City at the zip code level. This vantage suggests that the disease clusters in small geographic areas in the United States.
