Document Summary

Nov 6, 2012 lecture 9 - antc61. People are living longer with hiv, hence the number of deaths from aids has decreased over the years. Lots of countries have begun manufacturing their own generic version of anti retroviral drugs. Means of rewarding the pharmaceutical companies who create new medications -> every invention. Argument is in this neoliberal world economy, if we didn"t provide financial rewards for doing good research in areas of medicine, etc. , then people wouldn"t do that. Antiretroviral drugs have been a massive acceptance. Paul farmer was a key figure in actually shifting the way that poor people around the world have access to these kind of drugs. Second chart: there"s an increase of the people living with hiv who are female. They figured out they"ve been doing it wrong-> conducting the statistics incorrectly. They were calculating the pregnant women visiting clinics. Haiti was blamed for being the birthplace of hiv.
