I happened across the first part of this program last night; it was extremely well-done and presented some information I wasn't aware of (frex that AZT was in the public domain, as it had originally been discovered in the 1950's as an anti-cancer candidate, but was handed over to a pharma for trials as an anti-HIV drug).
If you are at all interested, I'm sure it will repeat at some point; the second part is on tonight, here. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/aids/etc/synopsis.html "The Age of AIDS." After a quarter century of political denial and social stigma, of stunning scientific breakthroughs, bitter policy battles and inadequate prevention campaigns, HIV/AIDS continues to spread rapidly throughout much of the world, particularly in developing nations. To date, some 30 million people worldwide have already died of AIDS. · There were 4.9 million new infections in 2004 -- 14,000 new infections every day · 3.1 million people died of AIDS in 2004 -- 8,000 people per day · HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death worldwide for people aged 15-59 · Half of all new infections occur in people under age 25 Debbi No Adequate Words Maru __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
