Doherty et al. highlight several important social dynamics that likely contribute to the disproportionate HIV incidence rates in the southern United States. Although we touched on most of the areas Doherty et al. mention, including racial disparities in health care and economic conditions, intriguing new information regarding determinants of HIV infection in the South has emerged since our original submission.15 We welcome the increased attention to the HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) epidemics in the South as signaled by their letter as well as by recent special issues of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (July 2006) and AIDS Care (September 2006).
