Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show

The White House dons a red ribbon for World AIDS Day on December 1, 2017.
Last year, HIV infections stalled and STD cases were on the rise, according to a new report from D.C.’s Department of Health.
While city officials still say that there’s been a gradual decline in HIV among D.C. residents, the numbers among the city’s youth, ages 13-24, are proportionally the worst they’ve been in a decade and two times the national rate.
We’ll discuss the state of HIV in the District, and what can be done to combat the infection, particularly among young people.
