Thu., Nov. 29, 2012 at 12:20 am EST The infographic conveys information well but why is the US comparing its HIV epidemic with those in Africa? A more meaningful comparison is with other wealthy western countries.

Sun., Nov. 18, 2012 at 8:26 am EST Your infographic uses the phrase "prevalence rate" but pevalence is NOT a rate. Prevalence is a proportion at a point in time. The use of the phrase "prevalence rate" is the most commone error in epidemiology. Many organizations and otherwise smart people--including UNAIDS--misuse "prevalence rate"--a term which doesn't really mean anything--but just because it's a common mistake doesn't mean it's any less wrong. In your chart, you could use "Population Affected" on the left side and then use "Prevalence" on the right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence
