Mississippi readies for World AIDS Day
Although AIDS is usually thought of as a coastal, urban problem, the American South now has 40% of the country's HIV and AIDS cases. The H.A. Brown United Methodist Church in rural Wiggins, Mississippi, will host an event for six counties discussing the message, "Are you HIV prejudiced?" Choirs will sing and candles will be lit for Mississippians who have died of AIDS complications. The South Mississippi AIDS Task Force is focusing on Wiggins to emphasize the AIDS cases in rural areas.
