Has HIV been forgotten because of coronavirus?

Has COVID taken the world's attention from HIV? US approves Moderna coronavirus vaccine

As the world's attention is fixed on the fight against coronarvirus, is another major killer, HIV, being forgotten? We hear from a leading researcher in Uganda.

Also, the coronavirus vaccine developed by Moderna has become the second to be approved for emergency use in the U S -- with millions of doses ready to be distributed.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Lijia Zhang, a Chinese-born writer and social commentator, based in the UK; and Frank Langfitt, London correspondent for the US National Public Radio network.
