CBS News looks at both McCain’s and Obama’s stance on AIDS in America
On Tuesday’s broadcast of the “CBS Evening News with Katie Couric,” Medical Contributor Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported on where each presidential candidate stands on AIDS in America. There is a new infection every 9.5 minutes and an AIDS related death every 33 minutes with 1.2 million Americans who carry the virus. Yet HIV / AIDS is America’s “forgotten epidemic,” as the nation spends almost $10 billion annually to fight AIDS abroad, but less than 10 percent of that here at home. Dr. Gupta explored how Senators McCain and Obama intend to stop the epidemic and how they plan to care for those living with this deadly disease.
