Florida
35,723
Did you know that Florida is the second state with the most people living with HIV? The first one is New York.
In Florida, 35,723 people are currently dealing with HIV (not aids), and 46,663 are living with AIDS.
Notes
The latest statistics on AIDS & HIV in the USA were published in March 2008 by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The next data are due November 2008.
There is often a delay between the time of diagnosis of HIV or AIDS, or the time of death, and the time at which the event is reported. For this reason the CDC estimates the number of people living with HIV or AIDS by adjusting for reporting delays. No adjustment is made for incomplete reporting. On this page, all numbers are CDC estimates.
The term "living with AIDS" includes every living person who has ever received an AIDS diagnosis, regardless of their current state of health. The term "living with HIV (and not AIDS)" includes every living person who has been diagnosed with HIV through the confidential name-based system, but has never been diagnosed with AIDS.

Oh my gosh that's crazy . I had no idea that Florida was the second largest state with HIV. What a great fact to know. I believe that people need to start being more careful and start using protection in order to prevent themseles and others from getting Many people fail to realize the dangers and consequences of being careless and some have to find out the hard way. There is no excuse for not using protection where it is needed.
