Participants in the 27th Annual AIDS WALK / DC in 2013.
According to a report released last week, the number of deaths related to HIV/AIDS has dropped significantly in the nation’s capital. But the data also found that more than 2 percent of the city’s population is living with the disease — levels that still qualify as epidemic. We explore the latest report card data on the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Washington and where the city can continue to make progress.
