AIDS Drugs

NPR's Richard Knox reports on a new plan issued by Harvard University to bring AIDS treatments to the developing world. It spells out ways to rapidly expand the distribution of AIDS drugs, after new discounts offered by drug companies. But activists say the plan is too conservative and falls short of what's needed to save the lives of tens of millions of people with HIV in the developing world.
