Interview With Eric Nelson, Executive Director, BEHIV

FS: What are the biggest challenges your organization faces as far as fundraising is concerned?
EN: BEHIV faces the same challenge that many AIDS service organizations face — waning public interest and a lack of urgency. With pharmaceutical advances, AIDS is seen as a “manageable” condition that no longer requires immediate action. Additionally, AIDS in developing parts of the world draws more attention than do sufferers in the United States.
