But it has a long way to go to bring the problem under control." (IRRAWADDY) This article reports that "Burma's military government has shown an increased degree of acceptance regarding HIV/AIDS over the last year. This can be seen primarily in the regime's allowance of increased intervention by Western aid organizations, including the commencement of a joint UNAIDS program. But aid workers say that the regime still needs to take major strides to bring the epidemic into the public consciousness if the country's problem is to be contained."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
