Spotlight: HIV/AIDS and the Latino Community in Washington DC

HIV/AIDS impacts everyone in the District of Columbia, including the Latino Community. In 2006, Latinos comprised 8.2 percent of the District of Columbia population, and 4.9 percent of HIV/AIDS cases. Of course, this number may not show the entire picture because some latinos, particularly those in immigrant populations, may be less likely to get tested for HIV/AIDS.
