H.I.V. tests for everyone in the Bronx

The City of New York is doing something truly brilliant by offering an H.I.V test to all those who enter public health clinics and hospitals.

I remember when I went to Bronx Science, one year a panel of people came to the school and told us that the district in which the magnet school is located has the higher percentage of AIDS in the United States.

I don’t know if that statistic is still accurate, but it sure as hell makes sense to do what NYC is planning.
