The AIDS Care Access Debate: Hear the Rest of the Story
How Access to Education, Care, & Treatment Is Impacting Developing Countries

On June 7, a small group of journalists discussed access to HIV and AIDS prevention, care, and treatment in resource-poor regions with a panel of AIDS care experts from those regions who have firsthand experience with the critical issues for people living with HIV in their countries. The panel introduced the Enhancing Care Initiative, a comprehensive program for AIDS care, and addressed how their work with policymakers in developing countries aims to ensure the best quality of care using the limited resources of their countries.
