Local gay and AIDS groups are calling on Mayor Adrian Fenty and his new public schools chancellor, Michelle Rhee, to more aggressively target gay and transgender youth in a proposed new initiative to curtail the spread of HIV among teenagers.
Fenty and city health director Gregg Pane announced the initiative during a June 27 ceremony to commemorate National HIV Testing Day in the District. Pane said one of the goals is to increase by 25 percent the number of youth who come forward to get tested for HIV.
