Every 9 1/2 minutes someone contracts HIV/AIDS. 1 in 5 people don’t know they have HIV/AIDS. That is 20% of those infected. How is this even possible? We have been working as a country to fight HIV/AIDS in Africa (and we should–please don’t get me wrong) yet have done little as a nation to wage the battle here at home. Pres. Obama just unveiled a National Plan to fight HIV/AIDS here in the US. In 2010. I can’t even believe it has taken this long. I am at a loss for words.

Embracing Imperfection 
So the perputual math teacher that I am…I think it is only 5%. But I agree with you! The US is always so quick to help other countries (which is part of the reason I love this country so much) but sometimes at the cost of the people that live here. How many people rushed to help the people affected by the floods in Nashville a few months ago? Just food for thought.
