Mayor Adrian Fenty has not marshaled every resource in his administration, the community or the schools to tackle the District’s staggering HIV/AIDS epidemic despite making some strides against the disease, a new study finds.

The annual report card from the D.C. Appleseed Center for Law and Justice gives the District high marks for rapid testing, interagency coordination, surveillance and fighting the disease in the D.C. Jail. But Fenty’s leadership on HIV is lacking, Appleseed found. Needle-exchange programs still fall short and the D.C. public and charter schools fall far behind.
