Because we are all human beings, we are all HIV-eligible.

A lot has changed since the 1980s, when the United States was a country with one of the greatest numbers of people infected with HIV.

The general population still thinks HIV is something that came in the 80s and went away, or that it only affects the gay population or intravenous drug users.

There are a number of candidate vaccines that are in development for HIV/AIDS.

Some countries that I go to are still trying to deny that it's happening. In India, 2.1 million people are living with HIV AIDS. India manufactures most of the drugs that are used to cure HIV around the world, which is an amazing, amazing fact that most people don't know.

I think we all realize that anyone can - and has - gotten AIDS. So there's obviously still a lot to be done.

HIV/AIDs patients depend on highly trained, specialized physicians. Each and every patient has a unique combination of retrovirals they depend on to keep them alive.

Whereas HIV only in recent decades became infectious for humans, high risk papillomavirus types have in all likelihood been with us for millions of years, accompanying the human race since the early days of our evolution.

There exist thousands of Americans who have AIDS-defining diseases but are HIV negative.

We can sharply deflect the curve of HIV incidence.
