When the first AIDS diagnosis was made in 1981, we knew nothing about about what caused it. Now, nearly 30 years later, antiretroviral treatment has provided hope to the estimated 33.4 million people living with HIV around the world.
To mark this important milestone, CNN's Anderson Cooper will anchor a special episode of AC360° tomorrow (1/14) at 9:00 p.m., "Hope Survives: 30 Years of AIDS." Guests for the special include Sir Elton John, Susan Sarandon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and other celebrity activists.
