In
Arizona, Three programs point to hope |
Arizona,
with the largest Indian reservations in the country, is home to
more than 250,000 Native Americans.
It ranks third in the number of cases of Native Americans with
AIDS: 289 by the end of 2003. And it has some of the oldest and
most innovative AIDS programs for Native Americans. Harrison
started one of the first grass-roots organizations. The Navajo
Nation had one of the first tribal programs. And today, that
fight continues with an HIV Center of Excellence at the Phoenix
Indian Medical Center, the largest program serving Native
Americans with AIDS in the country. Still, the feared explosion
of cases could overwhelm them. |
