National HIV/AIDS Researcher to Speak at University of South Carolina

On Wednesday, Dr. David Ho, named Time magazine's 1996 Man of the Year for his breakthrough research on treating HIV/AIDS, will deliver the 2008 Johnson & Johnson Health Care Lecture at the University of South Carolina School of Law's auditorium. Ho's lecture on the ethical dilemma of treating those with HIV begins at 5 p.m.; the event is free, and the public is invited. "It is critical that South Carolina have a reasonable and just approach to providing HIV treatment to our citizens," said Jacqueline Fox, a professor of health care law and the coordinator of the lecture series. "Unfortunately, we are not endlessly wealthy, and hard choices have to be made." A panel discussion with a question and answer session will follow Ho's talk.
