In America, many AIDS patients receive as much as $25,000 per year in medical assistance, while patients in poorer nations receive virtually none. In this program, doctors, members of advocacy organizations, patients, and others assess the current state of AIDS in the U.S., Europe, South Africa, Uganda, Zimbabwe, India, Thailand, Cambodia, and Hong Kong; underscore the value of education and prevention; and study the impact of AIDS on society. In places where medical treatment is simply not an option, compassion is viewed as a key therapy—a therapy still being learned in medically advanced America. (50 minutes)
