Hour One: AIDS Meeting Wrapup / Global Health
Since they came into widespread use, antibiotics have cured
many diseases that once were fatal. But not everyone has access to these
lifesaving drugs. Infectious diseases are still the leading cause of
death in most parts of the world.
Join guest host Richard Harris in this hour of Science Friday for
a look at global health, including reproductive health and a wrap
up of last week's International AIDS Conference. Call in with your
comments and questions at 1-800-989-8255, and share your opinions
online in our Listeners'
Lounge (registration
required).
