discovery in 1981, it remains shrouded in myths, misconceptions, and mistruths... until now. Scientists deep in
the African Congo have discovered forgotten clues that are rewriting the story of the global pandemic and

scientific training, these self-made activists infiltrated the pharmaceutical industry and helped identify
promising new drugs, moving them from experimental trials to patients in record time. With unfettered access
to a treasure trove of never-before-seen archival footage from the 1980s and '90s, filmmaker David France puts
the viewer smack in the middle of the controversial actions, the heated meetings, the heart
eaking failures, and
the exultant
eakthroughs of heroes in the making.

how to address the crisis.

Hello, my name is David and I am very much pleased and excited to be a part of liberal arts, math and science course. It is more like some new area where I have enough space to learn new things about life and how I can apply these learning into professional practice. I have set career goals to be a part of athletics; it always charms me when I see sprinters hitting the soil and gaining speed at their best.

    Before registering to this class, I had no or little knowledge about HIV/AIDS virus. My knowledge was actually limited to the information that people generally have about this disease.
