In the previous story, it was reported that Viacom would start promoting AIDS awareness, and a possible Enterprise episode would feature AIDS awareness. In USA Today, Rick Berman states that "Stigma" will be the Enterprise AIDS storyline. Below is a snippet:

On Stigma, T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) and her physician, Dr. Phlox, reveal a secret: T'Pol has been infected with an incurable degenerative Vulcan disease similar to HIV/AIDS and has kept her condition secret to avoid associations with mind melders, the Vulcan minority suffering from the disease.
