The problem is, of course, implentation, especially promoting widespread circumscision and building a society where prostitution is not necessary to eat and men do not commit dometic violence and rape. I like this quote by a Harvard specialist, Dr. Jim Yong Kim: 'Treatment is relatively easy, but prevention is rocket science.' Unfortunately prevention must be the key in Afria and elsewhere, because although we do have a complex coctktail of drugs that work, the body can build a resistance to drugs, and eventually the virus may do so as well. It's frightening to think that young people both in our own society and elsewhere think of AIDS as a nuisance rather than the deadly disease it can be, and don't necessarily take precautions as a result.
