Explained: Why is the AIDS epidemic so severe in America?

Michael Hobbes

Published on Mar. 7, 2015 - Every year, more than 13,000 people die of AIDS in the United States. In Britain, Germany and France, it's less than 250. What explains the difference?

This video is based on an article I wrote in The New Republic last year:
Why is the AIDS epidemic so much worse in the USA?

And before you yell at me in the comments: Yes, differences in AIDS surveillance systems also explain some of the variance. I wrote about this here: Can you really compare the AIDS crisis in the U.S. and Western Europe

Thanks a lot to Forrest Gray for letting me use his beautiful song, 'Sunset', in this video:
