Why should we be concerned about HIV/AIDS?

Tomorrow is International AIDS Awareness Day. The theme this year is accountability. Those of us who attended this summer's International AIDS Conference in Toronto heard a good deal of discussion about accountability which we're anxious to share and which, clearly, is of interest to fellow Tufts students.
