CNN's Sanjay Gupta turned up on CBS where he is an occasional contributor to file a Where They Stand feature on the two candidates' platforms on HIV/AIDS. Gupta could find no difference between John McCain and Barack Obama in their endorsement of PEPFAR, President George Bush's $10bn annual aid program to fight the disease in Africa and elsewhere in the Third World. As for their domestic differences, they were mostly to be found in their starkly divergent views on healthcare delivery generally, differences outlined by Seth Doane's Where They Stand last week, which Gupta reiterated. Concerning HIV/AIDS itself, Obama supports prevention through sex education and "promoting HIV testing in minority communities." McCain emphasizes programs that preach sexual abstinence.
