Abstract:
The HIV syndrome and the AIDS epidemic will be around for a long time. While many Americans feel it is mainly found in the gay population, the epidemic has now spread through all levels of our society. Disadvantaged populations, who have greater health and medical problems, and also less access to medical care, are more at risk of the disease. The authors give an analysis of the geographical spread of AIDS in NC, which began in the late 1980s, and focus on the linkage between the disease and social deprivation.

HIV and AIDS has spread rapidly in the United States in recent years. Geography provides a unique perspective for the study of HIV/AIDS, thus this article focuses on the diffusion of AIDS among women in North Carolina, its movement out of urban areas in the state, and its impact on African American women.

Abstract:
The state of North Carolina is considering a change in its AIDS policy. A coalition led by Lt. Gov. Jim Gardner is intent on banning anonymous AIDS testing. The group wants to create a master list of individuals with the HIV virus to be shared among health care professionals. Opponents of the measure say that it would discourage individuals from seeking treatment and violate their right to privacy. Experts say anonymous testing is likely to end unless the community convinces legislators otherwise at the public hearings.
