U.S. Fails on AIDS (4 videos)

Wednesday was a busy day for activists here at the IAC. A number of actions were held--I counted at least four--including one targeting the United States for failing to fight HIV/AIDS. U.S. AIDS activists marched through the halls, media center and into the "US HIV Epidemic in 2008" session, issuing a grade of "F" to U.S. policy makers, and demanding a National AIDS Strategy and a reform of the U.S. global AIDS plan to ensure the U.S. treats four million people worldwide and funds only evidence-based HIV prevention programs.
