Video: AIDS2012 Arrives in Washington, DC July 2012

From July 22 to 27, 2012, Washington, DC will host the nineteenth international AIDS conference, known as AIDS 2012. The AIDS 2012 conference theme, "Turning the Tide Together," reflects organizers' recognition that in 2012 the global AIDS community finds itself at a unique juncture: research advances have made it possible to envision an end to the epidemic at the precise moment when funding challenges threaten to slow progress on scientific discovery and program implementation.

In the summer of 2011 the CSIS Global Health Policy Center organized a senior advisory group known as Friends of AIDS 2012. The CSIS Global Health Policy Center is pleased to present a video featuring the perspectives of many of the participants in the Friends of AIDS 2012 group, as well as the insights of government officials, private sector representatives, advocates, and program implementers who have been long-time conference participants.
