Perhaps, where there is a void would be in the area of the risk of AIDS in small towns and rural communities. At present, many in rural areas still view AIDS as only a homosexual problem, or IV drug user issue. I don't think we ought to separate out minorities. The statistics about AIDS in Missouri would be helpful in setting the stage and giving facts. The issue of AIDS in rural areas is important because many believe it is not a rural problem.
Educational resources is the second most valuable suggestion.
All of the topics you mentioned are important, in my opinion. I am afraid people in our rural area still don't understand that this disease can, and will, reach our area. We have to dispel the backwoods belief that it will only affect homosexuals. I don't think that people in our area know enough about who can get it and the different ways it can be contracted. I would like to see some kind of program for educating parents.
