An opportunity to end two of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases: TB and HIV
UNAIDS - "The World Health Organization recently released its Global tuberculosis report 2018. Although it shows encouraging pockets of progress in responding to tuberculosis (TB) and HIV in some areas, it paints a rather bleak picture on ending the dual epidemics by 2030.
HIV is a relatively recent epidemic, having first been identified in the early 1980s; however, TB has been around for thousands of years. Archaeologists believe that TB affected the ancient Egyptians, with King Tutankhamun himself having possibly been affected."
