RAFT OF THE MEDUSA (TOP 10 FACTS ON HIV/AIDS) FACT # 6

Fact 6

About 5.2 million HIV-positive people had access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) in low- and middle-income countries at the end of 2009. This represents a twelvefold increase since 2003. Despite these gains, global coverage of ART is still low. WHO's 2010 treatment guidelines have expanded the number of people recommended for HIV treatment from an estimated 10 million to an estimated 15 million.

Joe Pintauro's RAFT OF THE MEDUSA will kick off "Stripped," with previews starting October 6 prior to a press opening October 8 and running through October 22.

First presented in 1991 to considerable acclaim, RAFT OF THE MEDUSA has been revised by Mr. Pintauro for this production. Drawing on the Theodore Gericault 19th century painting of people clinging to a raft following a shipwreck, Pintauro's play takes place 10 years into the AIDS epidemic, centering on a weekly gathering of people living with AIDS.
