As the Director of Duke Global Health Institute’s Center for Health Policy, Kate Whetten has studied infectious diseases in both the Deep South and in impoverished communities around the world. Surprisingly, she has concluded that there are many more similarities than differences in these communities when it comes to diseases like HIV /AIDS. In recognition of World AIDS Day, Kate Whetten will be in the studio with host Frank Stasio to discuss the rise of HIV in the Deep South and the powerful stigmas still attached to it.
