Nkosi-Bhekisisa in 2000. He died a year later
WASHINGTON-Vice President Mike Pence is facing criticism, not for something he said in a speech on Thursday when honoring the 30th anniversary of World AIDS Day, but for something he didn't say.

Darryl O'Donnell, CEO of the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations said: "Advances in medicine, technology and health promotion have powered strong progress against HIV. It's a time for us to push the bar even further because it's only by doing that we will bring the epidemic to an end".
