HIV Frontlines -- U.S. Edition is an ongoing podcast series from The Body in which we talk with the men and women who work at the forefront of HIV prevention and care in the United States. Whether they're providing HIV education to gay men in Connecticut porn shops, helping inner-city youths access treatment and care, or devising the best way for African-American churches to tackle the delicate issue of HIV education, these individuals are the driving force behind efforts to fight HIV in the country where the virus was first identified more than 25 years ago.

Featured Podcast: Kai Chandler
"Yes, babies are pretty, but they grow up to have sex ... and to potentially expose themselves to HIV," says HIV advocate Kai Chandler. Part of Chandler's work at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia involves getting preteens and teens tested for HIV, as well as talking to them about some pretty heavy issues -- sexual risk, partner negotiation and healthy relationships -- while they're still young enough for prevention messages to have the greatest impact. In this interview, Chandler explains how this job gets done -- and what else is going on in Philadelphia, a vibrant center of HIV/AIDS activism.
