More than 4.5 million South Africans are thought to be HIV-positive - the largest infected population in the world.

Unfortunate though that the drug companies still refuse to allow the manufacture of cheaper generic versions of the drug and so continue to make obscene profits from AIDS though. _________________________ Any attempts to palliate manifestations of insanity in one sector of society can only result in their upsurge in some other sector of society.
