HIV cases up in the South

HIV cases are on the rise in the South. This according to a new report by the Southern AIDS Coalition. It says federal funding to fight HIV/AIDS focuses on wealthy parts of the country.

The report says the South has more new HIV cases than any other region, but ranks last in overall funding.
