In the final edition of our five-part series AIDS: Then & Now, we look at HIV around the World, and discuss how the virus has transformed lives all over the globe. Plus we’ll look at places where infection rates are changing: either raising or falling. We're joined by: Dr. Gottfried Hirnschall, Director of the HIV Department of the World Health Organization; Dr. Chris Beyrer, Professor, Department of Epidemiology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health; and Gilles Van Cutsem, Medical Coordinator for Doctors without Borders.

please,do a program on cfs or fibromyalgia this is an epidemic biger than aids .this brings mental illnesses.this is olso a sexuly transmited disease.thanks the cdc and nih dont kwow what to do...thanks
people with malaria and tuberculosis are diagnosed with AIDS,and made sick with incorrect treatment and die. this becomes an AIDS "statistic". this is the horror promulgated in africa. the "pandemic" as you eroneously call it does not bear the numbers. iatrogenic[treatment induced death] has to be taken into account.
