AIDS 2060 — An Exciting New Project from A Shot In The Arm Media

What the hell has gone wrong with the global HIV and AIDS response? Does it matter? And what do we need to do to fix it?

Ben Plumley introduces AIDS 2060, a new project from A Shot In The Arm Media asking the questions the global health community has been quietly dodging for a decade. With 40.8 million people living with HIV, 1.3 million new infections every year, and the US sending the world into "septic shock" with sudden cuts to PEPFAR, the scale of the real challenge ahead is finally coming into focus.

Over the coming months, we'll travel the world to gather insights from scientific, political, and community leaders — starting with an initial AIDS 2060 episode focused on San Francisco’s evolving epidemic and long-term plans. Look out for that episode dropping soon!
