The recent public health emergency due to HIV infections in Indiana is a reminder that HIV and AIDS are still a threat.
“HIV cases have been rising in Rhode Island, we must remember,” said AIDS Project RI executive director Stephen Hourahan. “We’re not facing what Indiana is facing, but we need to be vigilant. People need to get tested for HIV, practice safe sex, and take other steps to help the state reach its goal of zero new HIV infections.” HIV is the virus that can lead to AIDS.
