While an increasing number of Americans were able to live with HIV by getting medications, the AIDS epidemic was ravaging Sub-Saharan Africa. WNYC Reporter Beth Fertig and Producer Gene Bryan Johnson meet Eunice, a woman from Zimbabwe living in New York who gets treatment for HIV. But she worries about her daughter and other family members back home in Harare. In this journey to Zimbabwe, we see how they and their neighbors are coping with the epidemic that has killed so many people in their community. It's left so many without any hope because there isn't enough medication; they don't even want to get tested.
