Telling people not to engage in the behavior that carries a high risk of contracting it. As well as sending $15 billion in funds to Africa to combat it there.
2 :
my belief is the government doesnt care they dont like to fund anything in that area as for other countries i have no clue
3 :
I can never understand why it is the government's job to prevent and cure AIDS...why don't all you people so fired up about it get together and fix it, and stop throwing taxpayer dollars down a hole...
4 :
Try this one. It is VERY important that people think in terms of sustainable, non-government health-care. Not dumping dollars on Africa in response to bumper-stickers.
5 :
$15 Billion dollar pledge to help Africa's hardest hit areas, for one thing. Cutting edge research into drugs, for another. Ever hear of the "triple cocktail" that came out in 1996? That was funded with U.S. dollars (Chinese doctor educated and working in U.S., and his team). That gave AIDS patients an 8-year reprieve from the virus' main effects, but isn't a cureall, of course. Oh, and the first commercially active HIV tests, which could have given a society brave enough to test themselves an effective cure (as in stopping the spread of this awful virus).
