Robert Fullilove is a professor of clinical sociomedical studies at Columbia University. He tells FRONTLINE that the fight against HIV/AIDS, particularly in the black community, has been made harder “because the majority of Americans no longer see HIV/AIDS as a problem.” The nation should care more, Fullilove says, “because you don’t want people cut down in the flower of youth by a debilitating condition that costs us so much money.” This is the edited transcript of an interview conducted on May 6, 2011. | Robert Fullilove is a professor of clinical sociomedical studies at Columbia University.

The U.S. government alone spends $200 million a year on a hunt for a vaccine against AIDS. At the forefront of that search stands Dr. David Baltimore, chairman of the National Institute of Health's AIDS Vaccine Research Committee. Currently president of the California Institute of Technology as well, Baltimore won the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Betsey Arledge, producer of the NOVA film "Surviving AIDS," interviewed a cautiously optimistic Baltimore on the current state of the search for a vaccine. | |||
