TB and HIV/AIDS on the Leonard Lopate Show

August 16, 2006

As part of its “underreported” news series, public radio’s Leonard Lopate Show today explored TB’s impact on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, asking how AIDS is fueling a TB resurgence. Guests included lawyer and longtime HIV/AIDS and TB activist Ezio T. Santos Filho, who has been living with HIV since the early 1980s, and has twice survived TB. Rachel Guglielmo, Director of Public Health Watch for the Open Society Institute, joined him.

The Leonard Lopate Show is a daily news and talk radio program produced by WNYC, America's most listened-to public radio station. Underreported , a weekly feature, covers major news events throughout the world that are largely ignored by major news organizations.
