Miami-Dade County, Fla., Launches Campaign Promoting Routine HIV Testing
The Miami-Dade County Department of Health on Thursday launched a campaign called "Test Miami,"" which is designed to educate physicians, at-risk communities and pregnant women on the importance of routine HIV testing, the Miami Herald reports. ""A major emphasis of the campaign is to train and educate physicians, particularly in hospitals and other medical facilities,"" Evelyn Ullah, director of the Office of HIV and AIDS in Miami, said. As part of the campaign, over the next year, four area physicians will appear in advertisements and speak at forums to encourage medical providers to offer routine HIV testing. Florida is one of the states hardest hit by HIV/AIDS (Montes-Delgado, Miami Herald, 6/26). Separately, nonprofit groups and public health departments in Southwest Florida are offering free HIV testing as part of National HIV Testing Day (Freeman, Naples Daily News, 6/25).

AVMA Response To PETA Protest At The Association's Annual Convention

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) respects and values PETA"s right to express an opinion and hold a peaceful demonstration at our 146th Annual Convention in Seattle. On the other hand, we disagree with their position on our use of fish during an educational and motivational presentation by the fishmongers of Pike Place Fish Market. There are no better advocates for animals than veterinarians, because we care for the well-being of all animals. We have some very well-founded animal welfare principles that include the responsible use of animals, including fish, for food purposes. We believe that this event is consistent with those principles. American Veterinary Medical Association
