What was originally considered a disease for gay men, drug users and a guaranteed death sentence has become a global epidemic... and for many in the western world, a manageable disease. As AIDS turns quarter century this week, we’ll look back at the history of HIV, from transmission to treatment, to our awareness of the disease and look to what may be ahead for the next twenty five years of AIDS. Laura's guests are Wendy Fenari, Assistant Director for the Southern New Hampshire HIV/AIDS Task Force. Lynne Weihrauch, A nurse practioner at Dartmouth Hitchcock in Nashua, who works exclusively with AIDS patients. Annie Ball, a Merrimack County resident who has been HIV positive for 16 years. Five years ago Annie was diagnosed with AIDS. We'll also be joined by Gerry Scoppettuolo, Manager of the Cambridge Health Alliance in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a comprehensive HIV counseling and testing site.
