This is a two-minute voice wrap report from an international AIDS conference in Japan. It outlines concerns among experts that AIDS infection rates in some Asian countries, which were already high, could be exacerbated by the 2004 tsunami and its aftermath. The information, though important, is delivered in dry and abstract terms by the reporter, interrupted just once by phone tape of a United Nations official. That said, the report does have a news peg, with the two-year anniversary of the tsunami coming up December 26th.
