Phill Wilson, of the Black AIDS Institute, explains.


CDC: HIV Infections Higher Than Estimated
A new report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) shows the number of new HIV infections is actually higher than previously estimated.

In Switzerland, A Health Care Model For America?
Switzerland's health care system could be the perfect political compromise for the U.S. Those who can afford to buy insurance are required to do so by law.
