This year marks an important milestone in our nation's history -- 35 years since the discovery of HIV/AIDS. This hour, we look back to see how far we've come in understanding, treating, and destigmatizing HIV/AIDS in America.
We hear from educators, researchers, and local residents. And we take your comments and questions, as well. Has HIV/AIDS affected your life or the life of someone you care for?
