Since youre the one providing these "facts" why dont you prove it to us?
Article on HIV in the Bronx. Basically its so rampant the department of health will try to test EVERY person between the ages of 18-64 within the next 3 years:

Funny you mention ignorance cause this article states the exact opposite of what youre trying to say.
First of all according to this article the Bronx does not have the highest rate of HIV neither does Brooklyn. Instead the Bronx just happens the most deaths from the virus compared to other boroughs, granted its still a big problem but a big difference from your claim as having the highest rate of HIV.
While Manhattan has long been the epicenter of the AIDS epidemic in New York, with the highest incidence of both AIDS and H.I.V., the virus that causes it, the Bronx, with its poorer population, has far more deaths from the disease.
In fact, according to this article the Bronx nor Brooklyn have the highest rate.
Indeed, the rate of AIDS cases is highest in Manhattan, at 82 per 100,000 people, compared with 75 in the Bronx, 46 in Brooklyn, 26 in Queens and 16 on Staten Island,
Now Ill be the first to admit that this is a huge problem throughout all of NYC. The thing is you cant just come in here and speak of ignorance then make false claims supported by statistics that are not backed up.
