12:06HIV Today

It's virtually disappeared from the headlines, but HIV hasn't disappeared from our region. And with some of the highest infection rates in the country, the disease remains a pressing concern in D.C. and beyond. We look at efforts to increase testing and get the word out among high-risk groups.

Guests

Marsha Martin, Senior Deputy Director, Department of Health, HIV/AIDS Administration

Dr. Patrick McLeroth, Director of HIV Medicine, Chase Brexton Health Services

Shaun X., Consultant, Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry

13:06Kofi Annan's Legacy

In his time at the United Nations, Kofi Annan has witnessed the genocide in Rwanda, the diplomatic debate over Iraq, and his own personal controversies. As Annan's ten year tenure as secretary-general comes to a close, we look at his impact on global politics.
