U.S. News Colorado: AIDS After 30 Years -- Education of Youth Has FadedAugust 3, 2011 "... Now that doctors know how people contract HIV, questions such as 'can I get AIDS from an infected toilet seat?' or 'can I get AIDS from an infected swimming pool?' might seem silly. "Rickard's students have become active in calling attention to the AIDS history. They helped prepare an exhibit at the East Branch of the Pikes Peak Library District commemorating the AIDS quilt, a project that was begun in 1987. ... "Today, the most at-risk group for HIV infection is people in their teens and early twenties. ... "This realization hit her hard, said Rickard, and has pushed her to continue discussing HIV with her students. "There is one question, however, to which Rickard still doesn't have an answer: 'Didn't they cure that?' The answer: No, they still haven't."
