Though big states like New York and California have large numbers of people with HIV, Southern states have higher per capita rates of HIV cases. An Internet map that compiles the rate of AIDS cases shows that of the 48 counties with the highest rates of HIV more than half are in Georgia (www.maphiv.org/).
Very high rates were also found in Florida, South Carolina and Virginia. While it has been long known that minority communities like the African-American population have high rates of HIV, the substantial rates discovered in South Carolina and Georgia have been eye opening, Gary Puckrein, president of the National Minority Quality Forum, the nonprofit research organization that put the map together, told the Associated Press.
The new map displays the totals of people living with HIV and AIDS from 2006. Puckrein told the AP that the information comes from state health departments and was verified against data compiled by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
