Every year, more than 13,000 people die of AIDS in the United States. In Britain, Germany and France, it's less than 250. What explains the difference? This video is based on an article I wrote in The New Republic last year: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/117691/aids-hit-united-states-harder-other-developed-countries-why And before you yell at me in the comments: Yes, differences in AIDS surveillance systems also explain some of the variance.

ATLANTA — The HIV/AIDS rate in certain parts of the city of Atlanta, particularly downtown ATL, is as bad as some third-world African countries, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention has just reported. According to the CDC, one in 51 Georgians will be diagnosed with HIV in their lifetime. In 2014 Georgia’s population was just over 10 million people. In 2013, Atlanta’s metro population was 5.6 million. “Downtown Atlanta is as bad as Zimbabwe or Harare or Durban,” via a statement from Dr. Carlos del Rio, co-director of Emory University’s Center for AIDS Research. In 2014 it was reported that Atlanta had the fifth highest rate of new HIV infections. And it continues to climb unabated. Other data in the study suggests that the Southern region of the United States as a whole presen...
(Visit: http://www.uctv.tv/hiv-sida) In the final installment of the series based on “Tomorrow Is a Long Time: Tijuana’s Unchecked HIV/AIDS Epidemic,” writer Jon Cohen explores what it would take to end the AIDS epidemic in Tijuana by 2030, as called for by UNAIDS. Dr. Davey Smith of UC San Diego argues for aggressive, frequent HIV testing in high-risk groups and shows how cutting-edge genetic science can unravel how the virus moves through communities. Cohen explains the benefits of harm reduction strategies, such as providing clean needles and methadone to thwart HIV transmission. And, in an intervention tailored specifically to this epidemic, Steffanie Strathdee and Tom Patterson’s group at UC San Diego has begun training the Tijuana Police about HIV and urging officers to see drug add...
This is part three of a three part documentary filmed to commemorate NEJM's 200th Anniversary. The entire documentary is entitled "Getting Better". The film looks at the role of researchers and clinicians, of patients, their familes and their advocates, and how information is translated into action. It is the story of research, clinical practice and patient care, and how we have continued to get better over the last 200 years. http://nejm200.nejm.org
CNN's Anderso Cooper speaks with writer and journalist Andrew Sullivan who was on the front lines of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s.
This program, Ending the Epidemic: Science Advances on AIDS, brings together leading researchers on the forefront of scientific efforts to understand and attack the virus that causes AIDS. Moderator Richard Besser is joined by pathologist Susan Zolla-Pazner, biologist David Baltimore, activist Peter Staley, and researcher Robert Grant for a conversation about the early 1980s when AIDS was an unknown killer, the challenges activists and researchers faced trying to convince the federal government to fund the science necessary to rein in the epidemic, and what the future holds as the work towards a cure continues.

Over 25,000,000 people have died from Aids, and more than 33,000,000 are infected today. While treatments in the developed world have moved Aids from a fatal to a chronic, highly expensive disease, it remains the sixth greatest cause of death globally and most of those infected in the developing world don't have access to treatments. Here, the Aids 2031 Commission's experts report on the first 50 years of the Aids pandemic: the 30 years that have passed since Aids was first diagnosed, and the prospects and best plans to address the ongoing worldwide Aids epidemic over the coming 20 years. The authors address the entire scope of the pandemic: basic science, public health, fun...

Although the AIDS epidemic still takes a devastating toll in some parts of the world, it has been with us for decades, and to some extent has moved out of the news spotlight. The more exciting but less well known news may be that tools and treatment exist today which allow us to completely control what is essentially the modern plague. And for those who are living with HIV, it can be treated as a manageable chronic disease. The opportunity to make history is within reach, and we are living among the generation that could end the epidemic – with the right mix of focus, attention, knowledge, and resources. This session will explore how we can make ending AIDS our legacy, and what we need to do today to end AIDS for good. The goal of ending AIDS can only be achieved by fully addressing th...

This work challenges the assumption that biomedicine is uniform across the western world. The author, a medical doctor and anthropologist, provides an ethnographic look into the daily experiences of physicians and researchers, examining how members of the French and American medical communities construct their models of Aids through discourse and practice. The book is based on a comparative study of two Aids clinics, one in Chicago and the other in Paris. Participant observation conducted at the clinics and ...

Throughout the history of the AIDS epidemic, successes and breakthroughs in the fight against AIDS have come from the leadership and boldness of key individuals willing to take calculated risks, to think differently about prevention and treatment, and to push public health specialists and government leaders to do the same. In the United States, no city better exemplifies this historical trend and leadership in the fight against HIV than San Francisco. In this session, US leaders will discuss what San Francisco got right and the best parts that can be replicated for similar effect around the world. From the early days of the epidemic, working to ensure treatment was available to those who needed it in the US, to a global push to ensure treatment was accessible and affordable to all who need...

A documentary about the AIDS epidemic in its early years in San Francisco, "Life Before the Lifeboat," is the brainchild of UC San Francisco AIDS pioneering physician Paul Volberding, MD, who is now director of the AIDS Research Institute and director of research for Global Health Sciences. This documentary features Volberding in intimate conversations with some of San Francisco's courageous leaders from the earliest days of the AIDS epidemic when the UCSF-affiliated San Francisco General Hospital was ground zero for the AIDS epidemic. The 30-minute film highlights how political and gay activists, along with health care professionals at SFGH, UCSF and other medical centers, came together to respond to the health crisis and in the process developed what is now a national model of care for t...
Ita Buttrose introduces this American documentary on AIDS, described as one of the best made at the time. The programme finishes with a discussion with Profesor Ron Penny of Centre for Disease Control, St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney From the Robert French archive.
This seminar was part of the 2011 CDC-sponsored lecture series, "HIV/AIDS: 30 Years of Leadership and Lessons" and took place during the 2011 National HIV Prevention Conference, Atlanta, GA. The program occurred on August 15, 2011. This session will describe the early history of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the USA based on Dr. Harold Jaffe and Dr. James Curran first hand recollections and experiences at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and clips from a film, "And the Band Played On," based on a book of the same name written by Randy Shilts. This session serves to illustrate the power of the epidemiologic method to understand the transmission and natural history of new infectious diseases in advance of identifying their causes.
