Global Health Inequity: Examining Omicron Through The Lens of HIV/AIDS

The first Omicron COVID-19 variant case was confirmed in the
state of California this week. But there is a lot we don't know
about this new COVID-19 variant.

On today's episode of Health Affairs This Week, Health Affairs'
Leslie Erdelack and Rob Lott discuss what's known (and not known)
about the new variant, global health inequity, and how the
HIV/AIDS epidemic can inform the response to the COVID-19
pandemic.
