Last week, NCTE focused on HIV/AIDS awareness for World AIDS Day. We recognize that we must focus on this issue year round because HIV/AIDS affects transgender people at disproportionate rates. Transgender people's HIV infection rates show that there is still much work left to do to eliminate discrimination and improve people's lives. A recent study included transgender women, which is an important step forward.

Medical researchers around the country have been working hard to provide effective treatments for HIV and AIDS and to prevent the disease from spreading.
