Science Speaks: From an Innovative HIV Response to Ebola, the Blog Covers Challenges at Home and Abroad

More than eight months into the Ebola epidemic in a conflict torn region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a WHO emergency committee determined the outbreak still does not constitute a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. The IDSA/HIVMA global Science Speaks blog reported the decision, and the rationale behind it here.

At home, when public health and Ryan White providers reinvested income produced by Kentucky’s AIDS Drug Assistance Program, to expand harm reduction and strengthened HIV responses in the commonwealth, Science Speaks interviewed one of the people behind the effort, HIVMA board member Dr. Alice Thornton, for this program profile.
