HIV/AIDS Science Feature Video

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), the virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Science has produced a feature video expanding upon award-winning journalist Jon Cohen's articles on HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the Caribbean, published in the 28 July issue of Science. Included in this video are interviews with notable scientists, physicians, and activists working to help treat and prevent HIV/AIDS in Latin America and the Caribbean. To view the video, go to www.sciencemag.org/aidsvideo.

National Public Radio has provided extensive analysis of the current state of HIV/AIDS research and public health policy, including a lengthy interview between Stephen Lewis, the U.N. Secretary-General's special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, and Farai Chideya. Lewis is the author of Race Against Time. [Listen to the NPR interview]
