JENESIS Magazine, July 2009 “Exceeding an epidemic” about AIDS epidemic in DC and effect in black community

Article I wrote for July 2009 edition of JENESIS magazine (www.jenesismagazine.com) about the AIDS epidemic in DC.  I’m just cropping it down to fit this blog and placing it here in case you missed seeing it online.  There’s been a lot of discussion about DC in particular over the past several months after learning that rate has been on the rise.  I’d love to know your thoughts.
