The health minister in South AFrica still hasn't sent a tender for HIV retroviral drugs. Still doesn't dispel the fact that more peopel die of AIDS in Africa in 8 days than the estimated victims of the tsunami. As a world, we don't do anywhere near enough for the HIV/AIDS disaster. As a human race, we're bloody lucky that we have preventative measures to prevent contracting HIV- its a scandal that so many of the most vulnerable are ignorant of these measures, or are unable to employ them.
