I have never heard mentioned, the actual number of people, both black and white, infected with HIV/AIDS in the united states

Does anyone know what the figures are?

It's like so many things Americans do -- so much overseas and not enough here at home

I agree Orrymain when we will learn that we have to make changes,yes we can do our best to help other countries,but if we continue to push aside our own people,there may not be anyone left to help others.
