SUMMARY
The newspaper story reports on the prevention and treatment of HIV and AIDS among Asian and Pacific Islanders. Efforts to educate Asian-Americans (especially recent immigrants) about the disease are under great challenge, because of the variety of languages spoken and cultural beliefs that discourage discussion about sex, sexually transmitted diseases, and death.
