The end of AIDS in Australia

Health, Science & Medicine, Sexuality

Scientists in Australia have declared “the end of AIDS” as a public health issue.

The announcement makes Australia one of few countries where the AIDS epidemic has been declared officially over – but HIV remains a major concern with over 1000 new diagnoses each year.

Tonight on The Informer Dean Beck speaks to Darryl O’Donnell, CEO of the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations and Bill Bowtell AO, Executive Director of the Pacific Friends of the Global Fund.
