Lucas County HIV Prevention Community Plan, 1994-1996. MSS-188.

With a growing number of HIV/AIDS cases in the county, in 1994 the Lucas County Health Department issued this comprehensive plan for preventing the further spread of the disease. The study showed that most cases in the county were contracted through homosexual sex and intravenous drug use, with males between the ages of 30 and 39 the largest infected group. The study suggested public education and free HIV testing and counseling as ways to prevent the spread of the disease.
