We also shared the touching story of a staff member here at the UVA Infectious Disease Clinic who has recently become an AIDS activist in honor of her mother, who died from AIDS.

Our profile of the new Fibroid Treatment Center covered the uterine fibroid treatment options that aim to give women more choices and reduce the number of unnecessary hysterectomies performed.
