Across the globe, December 1 is a day spent raising awareness about HIV and AIDS, and continuing the effort to prevent and treat the disease. On this World AIDS Day, Vermont Edition looks at progress our region has made in HIV testing, and the connection between AIDS and poverty. We’ll also learn how accurate Vermont’s data on HIV-infected people are, after an August report from the Centers for Disease Control revealed that cases of HIV and AIDS across the country were dramatically under-reported.
