AIDS Services Expansion Planned in Jackson County
Jackson County Health Department plans to expand its AIDS and HIV services facility in 2000, with an addition of 1,500 square feet at an estimated 200000 cost funded by a state grant. The department serves about 150 clients across 17 counties, amid 332 AIDS cases reported 1981 2005 in the region. A new state law expands HIV testing with verbal consent and opt out notification, aiming to reach about 10 000 Illinois residents unaware of their status.
