I had a collegue from Uganda in Florida State University , sad part is that his father died of AIDS. I had talk to him, as he is right now in Uganada, and discussed this video and article with him. I have one serious question here. As already proved by Smith(2001), the patients who are already on the treatment, if stops it in a midway, are prone to the developement of resistant. Then what is the point in investing too much money in the beginning only? It is highly true that India and Brazil can counter on thier own. I would like to add one more thing here.
