“By different groups’ estimates, the public money needed to control AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria around the world would be about ten billion dollars ($10,000,000,000) per year. This is less than Africa alone pays on debt service every year (which is over $14,000,000,000). The share of this money needed from the U.S. and other rich countries to control these three epidemics worldwide would be about the cost of a movie and a bag of popcorn for each person once a year. People are willing to pay this but world leaders are not ready to move. So opportunities to control HIV epidemics in their early stages are being lost forever.” … From the Aug. 9 AIDS Treatment News newsletter, published by John James.
