VANDU kudos and a kvetch

To the editor:

It's important to consider the work VANDU does around disease prevention and education. Peer-to-peer education is recognized worldwide as the most effective method of preventing the spread of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.

One case of HIV/AIDS can cost society more than VANDU's funding for the year. In 2011, VANDU was recognized nationally with a Kaiser Foundation award for excellence in community programming.
