Display Hosts: Kentucky Department for Public Health, HIV/AIDS Section
Display Host: Kentucky Department for Public Health, HIV/AIDS Section - The Kentucky Department for Public Health HIV/AIDS Section assesses the current and future impact of HIV in Kentucky. The section is composed of surveillance, prevention, and services programs. The HIV/AIDS Section is committed to: Ensuring that HIV/AIDS surveillance is a quality, secure system; Ensuring that all people at risk for HIV infection know their sero-status; Ensuring that persons not infected with HIV remain uninfected; Ensuring that persons infected with HIV do not transmit HIV to others; Ensuring that persons infected with HIV have access to the most effective therapies possible; and, Ensuring a quality professional education program includes the most current HIV/AIDS information. In our virtual Quilt display we selected Quilt panels that honor the names of loved ones from Kentucky who we lost to AIDS and we will always remember them through the beauty of the Quilt.
