Maybe I was wrong about the size thing, because even though Pennsylvania is a large state, its neighbor Jersey which is significantly smaller has a higher HIV/AIDS rate. With Atlanta ranking in the top 3 highest STD rate cities in America, the fast growing city and state are looking to move up on the list unless procedures are applied. With over 58% of the HIV rate in Pennsylvania being African American, is it time to target the urban areas?īetween a bad education system and one of the fastest growing cities in America, it is no surprise that Georgia has made this list. However, the fact that close to 400 children under the age of 13 were diagnosed within 1 year cannot be justified. Since Pennsylvania is such a large state, of course there is going to be a higher population infected.
With Chicago contributing close to 72% of Illinois’ HIV/Aids rate it is safe to say that Illinois is a state that needs to work on a little bit of everything. Many who were surprised Chicago, Illinois didn’t make the list for Top 10 Worst Cities won’t be surprised that it made this list. Baltimore being one of the highest rated cities in America brings the majority of these statistics to Maryland. Slowly rising close to 7% each year in diagnoses, Maryland does not seem to be slowing down in the HIV/Aids rate. However, with over 32,000 people diagnosed with Aids/HIV, you might want to think twice before having that vacation one night stand with a local. property and a very popular vacation spot. (#’s of AIDS/HIV Diagnoses are based off of one year only*)Īlthough Puerto Rico may not be technically a state, it is U.S. Although that statistic may not shock you, one that will is that close to 5%of these STD rates are diagnosed from children 13 and under.Ĭheck the list of the top 10 states with Highest Aids/HIV Rate, and make sure to discuss what we need to do to help lower the amount of cases. With the United States breaking the 250 million mark with diagnosed STD’s, it is important to be cautious what you are doing and who you are doing it with.
