U.S. News California: San Diego County Approves AIDS ResearchSeptember 30, 2003 On September 23, San Diego County's Board of Supervisors agreed to a pilot program to reduce the spread of AIDS on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border, conducted with help from the University of California's Universitywide AIDS Research Program. Health officials, with assistance from community groups, will interview migrants in San Diego and Tijuana about testing and high-risk sexual behaviors. The state's university system is providing a $193,000 grant for the study, which lasts through February 2006. Dr. Michele Ginsberg, chief of epidemiology for the county Health and Human Services Agency, said the goal is to assess what services are needed to help border crossers with HIV/AIDS. About 11,000 AIDS cases and 15,000 HIV cases have been reported in the county over the past 20 years.
