On this West Virginia Morning, West Virginia ranks 18th in the rate of new HIV infections but that may be an incomplete picture. Caleb Hellerman brings us the fourth episode of a month-long series called “Public Health, Public Trust” produced in partnership between West Virginia Public Broadcasting and the Global Health Reporting Center.
Also, roughly one-third of American women have struggled to afford products like pads and tampons. Reporter Jack Walker spoke to Lacey Gero, director of government relations at the Alliance for Period Supplies, about the danger of period poverty, and what folks across the country are doing to address it.
West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting, which is solely responsible for its content.
Support for our news bureaus comes from Shepherd University.
Maria Young produced this episode.
