HIV 101: The Basics of HIV and AIDS
via Stephen Houldsworth and Sarah Rose

(ST. LOUIS)
Presented as part of the St. Louis Free School, which offers free classes and workshops for the St. Louis community.  HIV 101 provides an overview of the history, politics, prevention, and treatment of HIV disease. 1.2 million US residents are living with the HIV virus, and approximately 56,000 new people will contract the virus this year in the United States. In the St. Louis area, more than 7,000 people are HIV-positive. The most common vectors for HIV transmission are sex and injectible drugs. The taboos around accurate information about sex and drugs have contributed greatly to the spread of misinformation about HIV and AIDS. This class will provide you with accurate information about the disease so that you can become a force for change in overcoming the stigma associated with HIV and AIDS.
