Welcome

Andrew Sullivan points out an updated survey just published by Kaiser. Even in 2011, more than half of the respondents say they aren't comfortable having their food handled by HIV+ people. Embiggen for details.

Wired Magazine reports:

With HIV’s 30th anniversary around the corner, a new interactive map reveals U.S. data on the disease down to individual counties and, for some cities, even zip codes. The nonprofit mapping effort, called AIDSVu, isn’t a perfect representation of the disease in the United States. The visualization is based on 2008 data, some states didn’t contribute county or demographic information that others did, and the map shows only diagnosed rates and cases. An estimated 1 in 5 HIV carriers in the U.S. are undiagnosed. Despite these limitations, it may be the most thorough geographical depiction of HIV ever created.
