Can South Africa meet its ambitious goal to end AIDS?

Sokhela has both HIV and tuberculosis -- a brutal, one-two punch that's exacerbating epidemics of both diseases in South Africa. In most places in the country, where clinics are overtaxed, this would presage a wait of up to 10 hours. But here something different is happening. Staffers at computer monitors swiftly log in people and dispatch them for triage or, if they have tuberculosis, a special area away from others. Those who only need their antiretroviral (ARV) drugs walk directly to the pharmacists, who retrieve each patient's electronic medical record and use a robotic system to pull drugs from shelves and fill orders.
