The healthcare professionals of New York are instituting an ambitious plan to have all adult citizens in the Bronx tested within the next three years. The test will be administered regularly alongside other visits to the hospital/emergency room. The Bronx has the highest number of death due to the socioeconomic aspects of the people living in the borrough. Manhatten has a higher number of infections, but lower number of deaths.
"AIDS killed 357 residents of the borough in 2006, about a third of all AIDS deaths in the city."
Basically, if you are interested, you should read the article. The statistics are interesting and I think it will be interesting to see the progress the project makes.
Since HIV/AIDS is not an issue just in the US I looked up some other stats. According to this website Swaziland has the highest adult prevalance rate of HIV/AIDS. It continues to show the other percentages and other countries in comparison.
