AIDS disease - political correctness

The New York Times reported that The community H.I.V/AIDS mobilization project , based in New York,suggested that the city had ignored the "underlying issues" behind the spread of the virus, like discrimination,poor housing and unemployment. Can anybody make sense of this statement, linking spread of AIDS and poor housing or unemployment or discrimination?These leftist liberal groups have no credibility because of these silly statements. Spread of AIDS is because of unsafe sexual practices,risky behavior using drugs and needles. City's health commissioner is right to bring the Drug resistance AIDS case in New York to the public notice and warn the Public about it. That is his job. It has nothing to do with gays and their life style. If this news changes the life style of people and saves them from getting infected , it is worth every bit.
Mr Topping, a researcher at record Books, an audio publisher in New York, started to learn languages from grade School. He started to study Telugu ( Used in part of India according to NY times) and Armenian. I was surprised to read that a kid in Troy, New york, learning my mother tongue for learning sake as Telugu is not used much anywhere else like English. He speaks German,French,Italian,Latin and Greek and understand about 30 languages. Hmmm! I wish I could speak one or 2 more languages. I would love to learn Spanish and French. Not easy when I do not have time.

An evalution Commission from the international Olympic committe came to New york to check about the city's suitability for 2012 Olymic games. These people have the best job. They are being treated like royals.
