RE: When People Thought Being Diagnosed With HIV Is A Crime, Not A Disease
Hello conficker,
The antiretroviral therapy is helping people to live longer. But only half the people are getting the antiretroviral therapy.
Hi @cosmophobia. Yes, but that's quite sad, isn't it? In some parts of the world, the medication can be quite expensive to be given to people who need them. In Malaysia, however, some of the first line anti-retroviral therapies are subsidised by the government, thus people can get their hands on it for free. The key is how many percentages of the world population who are affected but have no knowledge of it? Public education can be a useful tool to encourage people to step up and get tested.
