Program Description

This episode of "The AIDS Quarterly" focuses on the medical aspects of the epidemic. Included are segments on AIDS research and its implications for the science of psychoneuroimmunology (PNI): a profile of two doctors--one in Massachusetts, the other in Iowa--and how AIDS has affected their practice of medicine, and a look at how billions of dollars of federal research is spent and who gets it.

Peter Jennings returns to "The AIDS Quarterly" with updates on research, legislation and breaking news. This program focuses on AIDS and racism, delving into issues of leadership and the social factors that conspire with AIDS to destroy already weakened families and whole communities.
