National Aids Strategy
This week, the Clinton Administration announced a national AIDS strategy, centered around six goals to guide research efforts. In this hour of Science Friday, join Ira Flatow as he and his guests discuss the country's first national policy on AIDS: which issues it addresses, what it ignores, and whether the new strategy goes far enough in its support of AIDS vaccine programs.
