Globally HIV typically originates in large urban centers before spreading to the more rural areas. In China the opposite occurred. HIV in China was first reported among ethnic minority communities living in one of the country's most remote regions adjacent to the Burmese border. Elanah Uretsky, Assistant Professor in Global Health, Anthropology, and International Affairs will speak about the geopolitical environment that led to this unusual pattern of HIV and its impact on the trajectory this epidemic has taken in China.
