On behalf of the Health Policy Project, I am writing to support removal of the term "AIDS virus". While it may have been helpful a decade ago to use this term to ensure respondents understood the questions, it is no longer necessary. We also know from the past decade of research that equating HIV and AIDS only serves to further stigma.
