AIDS 25 Years Later

June 5th marks the 25th anniversary of the official discovery of HIV/AIDS. Twenty-five years after federal health officials first recognized the disease that would become known as Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS no longer is synonymous with terminal illness in the United States. But the battle against AIDS is not over and a search for new treatments and even a vaccine continues. Larry Mantle talks with experts about the evolution of the epidemic and the future spread of the disease. Consummate HIV/AIDS immunologist Dr. Michael Gottlieb, Lee Klosinski of UCLA's Center for Community Health, and geneticist Paul Sharp of Nottingham University in England participate.
