HIV/Aids resurgence in Africa feared as Durban hosts conference
The Guardian - "Latest figures indicate increase in the virus in some countries, as international funding for research and treatment falls. Sixteen years after a groundbreaking conference shocked the world into the realisation that thousands of Africans were dying of Aids because they did not have access to life-saving drugs, campaigners and scientists meeting once again in Durban this week will warn that the progress made since 2000 is not enough to end the epidemic.
(...) There is mounting anxiety among the experts and the activists at this year’s Durban International Aids Conference that the epidemic may slip out of control once more." (Photo: torbakhopper / flickr)
