John Hilgeman interviews Don Cuvo, manager of the Metropolitan St. Louis AIDS Program, about their efforts to control the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The program tracks the epidemic's progress through computerized systems and visual aids, offers anonymous HIV testing, and provides extensive education and training to healthcare professionals. They conduct sero prevalence studies to understand HIV infection rates and surveillance to report AIDS cases accurately. Funded by federal CDC money, the program also targets IV drug users through outreach programs, aiming to prevent HIV spread. Don emphasizes the importance of accurate data for securing federal funding and improving community care.
