Bill Gates and Ted Turner Meet to Discuss HIV Programs

LOGAN, Utah—Ted Turner met with Bill and Melinda Gates in Africa last Wednesday. They are discussing possibilities with the World Heath Organization (WHO) about programs to help fight HIV, which has been a widespread epidemic for the continent. I got a chance to ask Bill Gates a few questions about his partnership with Turner. He replied saying, "We think we can come together and really make a difference." He said that they are going to be working with the WHO to discuss how they want to work with eradicating HIV on a global level.
WHO Director General, Dr. Margaret Chan, said, "There is no deal yet," when asked about what her plans were with Gates and Turner. She informed me that working with people such as Bill Gates, Ted Turner, and Warren Buffet "really makes my organization effective and worthwhile." No word yet on what the plan of action will be.
