Dallas County has the highest HIV infection rate in the state. It’s also the only county in the state that prohibits public health workers from using condoms in education and prevention programs.

Has everyone skipped this article? Why is it we are so vocal on squabbling about differences in tactics and when there is something SO IMPORTANT we are so silent? This should be leading the blogs instead of internal BS that in the end has no relavance whatsoever.
