Stephen Morrison, Executive Director of the CSIS HIV/AIDS Task Force, was quoted by the Los Angeles Times, "New Life for African AIDS Patients."
This western Kenya village was slowly dying five years ago.
One in three people was HIV-positive, then a virtual death sentence. Coffin-makers couldn't work fast enough and the nearby hospital overflowed with HIV patients. No family went untouched, but stigma was so severe that few got tested and the word AIDS was rarely uttered.
"This will rank in the top tier of his legacy issues," said J. Stephen Morrison, executive director of the HIV/AIDS Task Force at Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington think tank.
