Brazil's HIV Treatment Efforts
Susan Dentzer talks to patients and policy-makers about Brazil's HIV treatment programs. UNAIDS has lauded these programs, saying that Brazil is "continuing to show the way" as Latin America struggles to treat those infected with HIV.

Preventing New Infections
In the mid-nineties, the World Bank estimated 1.2 million Brazilians would be infected with HIV by the year 2000. Today, the number of those estimated to be infected with the virus is half that amount. Susan Dentzer looks at the government-sponsored prevention efforts that Brazilian officials say helped people protect themselves from the virus.

Frank ads that encourage Brazilians to use condoms and clean needles are key components of the government's efforts to prevent new HIV infections. Brazil also distributes free condoms and runs needle exchanges to help its citizens avoid putting themselves at risk of contracting the virus.
