( rity of Hispanics diagnosed with AIDS t...)Primary Health Care Parishioners of Second Largest HIV Infected Area in US Fail to Offer HIV Tests,Health

rity of Hispanics diagnosed with AIDS tested HIV-positive less than one year prior to their AIDS diagnosis. Thus, the challenge to providers practicing in predominantly Hispanic communities appears to be early HIV detection.

Los Angeles is the second-largest epicenter for AIDS cases in the United States, behind only New York City, Solorio noted.

The racial and ethnic distribution of AIDS cases differs markedly between Los Angeles County and the rest of the country. According to data from the county Health Department, Hispanics represented the largest racial/ethnic group diagnosed with AIDS in Los Angeles County in 2004, at 48 percent, while Hispanics accounted for 19 percent of all persons diagnosed nationally.
