Tanzania Travels

In 2006, WebMD Assistant Managing Editor Cherie Berkley traveled to Tanzania as part of a UN delegation to report on the plight of women with HIV/AIDS and the devastating effects of malaria. She also covered globe-trotting issues such jet lag, food & water safety, shots, and emergencies.

I hope that all of this attention will lead to real change in those countries. We think that we understand AIDs in this country but we don't compare in any way to the epidemic happening in Africa. And turning a blind eye to it won't make it go away. Maybe Bono should speak at WebMD about AIDs!

Please elaborate on how you think birth control is an option? I am not clear on what you think this should be an option for.

Our government has promoted a program in Uganda...ABC. The acronym is supposed to stand for Abstinence, Be faithful, use Condoms. The problem is most women don't get the choice. Check out a video called Miss HIV.
