Bad news neighbors! Houston was not content with just being the fattest city in the country, but now we are fighting hard with NYC to become the country's top AIDS producer. Give yourself a round of applause Montrose! Good for you!!! As the Houston Chronicle stated this morning:

Houston's HIV infection rate is nearly twice the national average, according to figures the city health department cited Monday as its most accurate estimate ever. In 2006, about 1,700 Harris County residents became HIV-positive.

"In one year, one in 2,000 Houstonians becomes infected with HIV," said Dr. Tom Giordano, medical director at the Harris County Hospital District's Thomas Street Health Center, which treats about 4,000 HIV patients a year. "That's a pretty alarming statistic." Houston's rate of new HIV infections is higher than figures in Dallas and San Antonio but below the rates calculated for New York City, Philadelphia and Chicago.

So eventually, we will be the fattest AIDS patients in the world. Chincho predicts Houston will eventually produce it's own version of the "We Are the World" song.
