Abstract

The Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic in Portland City Hall tested 1,128 people for exposure to the HIV virus in 1995, with six testing positive. Statewide, almost 15,000 people tested for HIV, and 68 tested positive. Myles Rightmire and Diane Jacobs, workers at the clinic, discuss more than AIDS with the clients, using the testing process as a chance to educate people about the consequences of unprotected sex. Details.

Subjects
