Washington D.C. has a 5% HIV positive rate. That is INCREDIBLE. 1/20 are infected.

i'm shocked.

Out of curiosity, can medical schools deny you admissions if you are hiv+?

some doctors in the work force are HIV positive, and i think there still working... as long as they follow there ethical code as being a doctor... it shouldnt be a factor till a point when there too week or just not able to do there job.....

but heres a better question is... why would u go to medical school if u were hiv+?

and to the 1/20 people being infected...dammmm, drug abusers...

not just drug abusers. lots of young people are getting infected through unprotected sex. DC is the worst city for HIV in the US, and i'm pretty sure Baltimore is up there too.

Well, I guess even HIV+ people have dreams! Just like cancer, heart failure patients, etc....
