Dec 6, 20217:26Now PlayingIn 2015, UNAIDS set a goal to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030, relying on a mathematical model showing the epidemic will die out if enough people keep it the virus check.
Now a little eight years away, are we on track worldwide to end the HIV and AIDS epidemic for good? Dr. Reed Tuckson, the former commissioner of public health in Washington, joins “DC Today” fill-in host Kelly Wright to answer such questions. Tuckson says it’s a bold goal.
