Description
AIDS EPIDEMIC UPDATE

Some 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS today. That figure is higher than ever before. Despite unprecedented global efforts to combat the spread of the disease, the figure keeps increasing.

What accounts for the recent surges in HIV infections, especially in Asia and Eastern Europe? Why is the AIDS pandemic increasingly affecting women, and young girls?
Can governments, businesses, and activists rise to the challenge of raising the estimated US $ 10 billion needed annually to combat AIDS worldwide?

These are some of the issues discussed in this episode of World Chronicle with the Director of the UNAIDS office in New York, Dr. Desmond Johns.
