Sad news about DC!!!

[bull930]

WASHINGTON - A new report released Monday shows that HIV/AIDS is sweeping across the Washington-Metropolitan region with devastating consequences. The Whitman Walker clinic said the District has an HIV/AIDS infection rate that is 10 times the national average.
 
 The 120-page report, which is the city's first on HIV/AIDS since 2000, shows that about 1 in 20 city residents has HIV and 1 in 50 have AIDS, with the disease growing at an alarming rate in the black community.
 
 According to the report, more than 80 percent of the HIV cases identified between 2001 and 2006 were blacks, and among women who tested positive about 9 out of 10 were black.
 
 The District's AIDS rate is the worst of any city in the country and has been climbing faster than that of many jurisdictions, health officials said.
 
 Health officials also said that in 2004 the number of new HIV cases among men and women ages 40 to 49 began to rise, outpacing every other age group in the city.

Saw this in the Washington Post Express. Makes me glad to be married since I would be petrified to date now.
 
 This estimate only includes residenst correct, not the vast abundance of people who move here for school or political office but claim residence elsewhere?

if you go to news.google.com and search for "study HIV washington dc" you'll get several sources, such as      http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21973047/    
 
 the boston globe reports:
 "City health officials said unprotected sex was the most common way HIV is spread, followed by intravenous drug use. Since 2000, about 13 percent of all new HIV cases in the city involved intravenous drug use.
 
 Washington is still the only city in the country barred by federal law from using local tax money to finance needle exchange programs. Congress controls the city's system of government, and for nearly a decade members of the House, citing concerns about worsening drug abuse, have inserted language into the bill approving the city's budget to prohibit financing such programs."
 
 that's just sad. free DC!

I think you're OK as long as your wanton infidelity doesn't involve sharing needles or middle-aged black women...at least according to this report.

You can still easily get Herpes (from grinding the un-condomed rest of your crotch), which I suspect is the epidemic among DC whites.  I recommend asking someone if they have it before making whoopee for the first time, because they might otherwise be too embarassed or drunk to offer the info

condoms are for pussies

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

How about monogamy?
