Release Date:
The long fight against HIV/AIDS may get a potent new weapon. A new drug, taken by injection twice a year, shows great promise in preventing new HIV infections and would ease the treatment process since patients currently have to take daily medication. It could have far-reaching impacts, especially in lower-income countries that are facing rising new infection rates. William Brangham reports.
