Kathy Anastos, M.D., recalls how a compelling email and pivotal meeting with an HIV-positive Rwandan woman led the development of model programs for women with HIV/AIDS in Rwanda. This first initiative led to the creation of additional programs, including mass public screening for HIV/AIDS, feeding and educating children, and job creation for adults. Dr. Anastos is co-director of Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Global Health Center and an attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center.
