World Making Progress in Fighting AIDS
Some promising news is coming out of the 16th International Aids conference in Toronto. It seems that there may be glimmers of hope regarding the fight against AIDS.
Small victories feature at AIDS conference | Top News | Reuters.com:
Many more people in Africa are getting treated but it still falls far short of treating all who need to be treated. In developing countries just providing good general nutrition went a long way to wards improving their condition.
In general more poor people are receiving treatment so recent pushes are working but there is much more to be done. As an example in Thailand, now 90% of those who needs AIDS drugs are receiving them.
Another interesting aspect is those who test positive for the virus but never develop full blown AIDS. These are people whose genetics should be decoded to see if it can be figured out why these people seem to not suffer from the typical disease progression.
