Article: HIV could be wiped out in ten years!
An article published in the British medical journal The Lancet describes a mathematical model which predicts that, if the populations countries with high HIV infection rates are regularly tested and treated, the HIV virus could be wiped out in a decade.
Yes, that's what I said.
The cost of the program would peak at $3.4 billion a year, but would rapidly drop after an initial expenditure. Still, there are all manner of logistical and other practical obstacles involved.
On the other hand, given the human cost of HIV/AIDS, can the human race afford not to find a way, it the approach the model suggests has a sound chance of working?
