  • Title: A growing dichotomy: the gap between therapeutic haves and have-nots.
    Journal: AIDS Alert; 1998 Jan; 13(1):1-4. PubMed ID: 11364861.
    Abstract:
    The International Association of Physicians in AIDS Care (IAPAC) sponsored the First International Conference on Healthcare Resource Allocation for HIV/AIDS to address how to bring expensive AIDS therapies to those who cannot afford them. Proposals included revamping the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP), accelerating the national effort to test a vaccine in humans, and expanding Medicaid coverage to include asymptomatic HIV infection. The UNAIDS HIV Drug Access Initiative, the new Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS drug access program, combines public and private sector efforts to find ways to increase HIV treatment access in developing countries. In contrast to other developing nations, Brazil has passed a law that makes HIV treatment a right for every citizen. Celso Ferreira Ramos-Filho, a professor of medicine at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, predicts that the Brazilian government will not be able to pay the standard therapy costs.
