Sure there are some questions that are hard to address, like how will these people be cared for if they become sick. But let's also look at the world and tell the truth. In the history of medicine the only things that have really worked to stop diseases in the third world have been vaccines. Drugs won't work for us. Prevention has obviously failed.
Education is almost impossible.
The country's leadership is easily the most open in Africa about the issue - the president and other leaders mention the disease in nearly every speech. It is only rare families where at least one member has not fallen ill. Mugerwa and his colleagues are aware that in the past, when vaccines have been developed in Africa, they disappear as soon as they become worth money. That is why Uganda decided to be in on every level of testing. We have demanded a role in the research and we have sent our best people abroad to help develop the drugs.
