The Washington Post: Real Progress in Washington, D.C.'s Fight Against HIV/AIDS

June 20, 2011

A The Washington Post opinion piece states the "District's efforts to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic are working. Last week's release of the D.C. Department of Health's annual report on HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases is the latest evidence of the effectiveness of the city's response. Since 2006, the District has nearly tripled the number of publicly supported HIV tests each year -- from 40,000 to 110,000. ... Our prevention and treatment programs, which include a revamped school health curriculum, are aggressive, innovative and effective" (David Catania, 6/17).
