What Pence’s handling of an HIV outbreak means for his coronavirus role - PBS NewsHour What Pence’s handling of an HIV outbreak means for his coronavirus role - PBS NewsHour Posted: 28 Feb 2020 03:46 PM PST When President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that Vice President Mike Pence would oversee the U.S. response to the novel coronavirus, he pointed to Pence's record as governor of Indiana. "When Mike was governor … they established great health care," Trump said, adding that Pence is "very expert" in that field.

CDC officials say there's little evidence to prove that screening men regularly contributes to a decline in overall case rates — partially because young men are less likely to seek preventative health care services in...

Two years later, the last Planned Parenthood affiliate in Scott County, Indiana, closed its doors because of budget cuts. It was also the last HIV testing center in the county. By 2015, an HIV outbreak was brewing in the state. At the peak of the outbreak, 20 new cases were being diagnosed per week, with a total of nearly 200 cases eventually reported, according to HuffPost . But that Congress member, who became Indiana's governor, didn't want to authorize a needle-exchange program to stop the spread of the virus. "I don't believe effective anti-drug policy involves handing out drug paraphernalia," he said . That...
