Hans Rosling is a Swedish medical doctor, academic, statistician and public speaker. He is Professor of International Health at Karolinska Institute and co-founder and chairman of the Gapminder Foundation. Professor Hans Rosling unveils new data visuals that untangle the complex risk factors of one of the world's deadliest (and most misunderstood) diseases: HIV. He argues that preventing transmissions -- not drug treatments -- is the key to ending the epidemic.
A ten minute excerpt from the 25 minute film "Hope In The Time of AIDS" that outlines some of the statistics, hopes and brutal hardships of HIV and AIDS in Africa—or any country, of course, but particularly countries lacking in access and equal gender rights.
What the film in its entirety is trying to show is that HIV and AIDS does not have to be a death sentence, that there is so much hope, and given the sheer wealth of this world, people have a right to treatment, to education, to protection and dignity.
