"In the Deep South, because that's where most Black people in this country live, the HIV epidemic seems to be center in big urban areas. There is a big problem in rural areas as well that looks like it looks in sub-Saharan Africa." — @RobNewells on @NewsHour
HIV treatment has undoubtedly saved millions of lives, but AIDS still takes its toll. Nearly 700,000 people died last year, and millions still don't get the lifesaving access they need.
