Scott County, Indiana - Where HIV Exploded, With Help From Mike Pence

Trump - 67%
Clinton - 29.2%
Johhson - 3.8%

Not only was the nationally publicized HIV crisis in rural Indiana last year preventable, but other U.S. communities are at high risk for nearly identical outbreaks, according to a recently released study from the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine.

The study, published last week, also reveals contradictions between what Indiana public health officials think is best for the state and the response to Indiana's epidemic. And as Indiana Gov. Mike Pence follows the campaign trail of his now-running mate and GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, Hoosiers have wondered if different policies or preparedness could have at least lessened the impact.
