Course Description

Overview

Explore a thought-provoking 22-minute TED talk that challenges conventional approaches to HIV prevention. Armed with logic, wit, and her "public-health nerd" glasses, the speaker unveils inconsistencies in political systems that hinder effective use of resources in combating HIV. Delve into research conducted with at-risk populations, including drug users in prisons and sex workers in Cambodia, to discover counterintuitive measures that could potentially slow the spread of this devastating disease. Gain insights into the complex interplay of sex, drugs, and HIV, and learn why a rational, evidence-based approach is crucial for developing more effective public health strategies.
