GlobalPost's "Global Pulse" blog examines the issue of HIV/AIDS in the presidential election, writing, "This campaign season, the fight against HIV/AIDS has been absent from the press materials released by both President [Barack] Obama and [Republican presidential nominee Gov. Mitt] Romney -- as well as from the conversation." The blog provides examples of Obama's actions addressing HIV domestically and abroad and summarizes remarks on the epidemic made by Romney during the campaign. The blog includes quotes from several experts and officials (Judem, 10/8).
