The District's system for reporting AIDS-related deaths missed more than half of the fatalities that occurred from 2000 to 2005, according to a new analysis.
Of the 2,460 deaths from AIDS-related illnesses during the six-year period, 1,337 had not been reported because the city's system for tracking the toll of the disease was inadequate, according to the analysis by the D.C. Department of Health and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
At least 12,500 District residents have AIDS, giving it one of the highest rates in the country. Officials estimate that between 3 and 5 percent of people in the District are infected, twice the rate of New York, for example.
The new analysis indicates that the AIDS epidemic may be taking a far greater toll on the city than officials had realized.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.
