AIDS: A Turning Point

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

John Donnelly and a team of reporters investigate what experts are calling a ‘turning point’ in the global fight to reduce HIV infection rates. Successes in southern African countries have produced valuable lessons on effective approaches to fight AIDS, lessons that need to be learned in US cities where infection rates remain persistently high — particularly among African-Americans. Meanwhile a political confrontation looms in Washington over critical funding which could threaten gains already made.
