Small to medium sized jurisdictions and the CBO’s that service them are completely overlooked from the process. These communities are much harder hit because the resources continue to be shifted toward the large metropolitan areas. Research is not conducted in these areas to develop new prevention approaches, even though HIV is rising at a faster rate than in the large urban areas. It is much like it was back in the early 80′s. Everyone is acting like HIV/AIDS doesn’t exist. We have the perfect opportunity to get out in front of the problem before it gets out of hand. However, the decision makers are so focused on the same few jurisdictions, it is as if the rest of us don’t exist.

These areas have minimal to no resources outside of the CBO’s servicing these rural areas to combat HIV/AIDS. Individuals from the metropolitian cities are migrating to the smaller and rural areas.
