AIDS on the Border
by Eliza Barclay
Those who oppose relaxed American immigration standards often claim that Latin American immigrants who leave their native countries for the U.S. do so with infections they bring into this country. But AIDS prevention experts say migrants often become infected in border towns along the way—or in America—and export HIV back to their homelands.

Torch Song
by John Caldera

Service Interruption
by Bob Ickes
Jeremiah Johnson heeded his country’s call to public service by volunteering for the Peace Corps. It sent him to Ukraine to teach English and AIDS prevention. But when he himself became infected there, the Peace Corps dismissed him. After he charged discrimination, and POZ pressed for clarification, the group now says it is committed to accommodating positive volunteers.
