Video of 10/24 HIV Prevention Event Now Available

Streaming video of the 10/24/08 event Rethinking HIV Prevention Strategy: Debating What Works is now available. The event was sponsored by the NYU Master's Program in Global Public Health and featured Dr. Daniel Halperin (Senior Research Scientist and Lecturer on International Health in the Department of Global Health and Population at Harvard University), who discussed his provocative recent work - including publications in Science and The Lancet and editorials in The New York Times and The Washington Post - which scrutinizes the prevailing orthodoxy of which HIV prevention strategies are effective and should be pursued, and which are less effective. Joining Dr. Halperin in this important discussion were Dr. Bill Easterly (Professor of Economics at New York University, co-Director of NYU's Development Research Institute, and author of the recent The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Good) and Dr. Helen Epstein (noted public health specialist and author of The Invisible Cure: Africa, the West and the Fight Against AIDS).
