So for the past few days i've bveen chatting with a friend from the past and we have been discussing how this season seems to be "booty call season". Individuals don't relationships in the 09, they just want to get their super bootie calls on. OOOOOOOOOWEE. Not cool. With the nations capital's aids rate being 3% it beats Nigeria,Ghana, and Gambia, and its almost tripple the worlds aids rate. Like seriously what's going on DC?
Among minorities, the numbers are even more disturbing, with four percent of African Americans and two percent of Hispanics in DC currently suffering from the disease. Another interesting statistic is age-based: almost 10 percent of people between 40 and 49 are HIV positive. Perhaps most frightening, these numbers are based only on Washingtonians who have gotten tested for the virus. Given that only 60 percent of respondents knew their AIDS status and only 30 percent claimed to have used a condom the last time they had sex, it seems likely that the true infection statistics are higher.
People out here are so convinced that they can't be that person, but when reality sets in we could all be that person. Be safe and retain knowledge, because this shit is serious, and epidemic.
