Hi Dan: Hope all is well with you.
I am a little confused by the email you received in regard to attributing to any group of people the highest instigator of HIV. It's has been some time, admittedly, since I had looked at the reports that were generated by State & Federal Government. In 2004 I read a fairly interesting private study that indicated in the coastal monmouth area the major concern for the spred of HIV was among intravienious drug users. Again this is 2 years ago. I have been working among the homeless population of Monmouth county since 1990. On a daily basis - more heavily prior to the land use issue I am in with the Long Branch administration. However, I respond to approximately 40 calls per day in all varied need areas. I would have to continue to believe that the same populus group is the highest risk category and not the gay community. This is just my observations. I may add from what I can see, the "new case" levels of HIV have dropped dramatically and that current cases on the books are more folks who are struggling with this desease greater than 5 years. These are not official figures just my observations. KEVIN BROWN Lighthouse, Long Branch Yahoo!
