If we have any integrity, we must now make the same case for the world. We must be willing to play a forceful role in ending the global pandemic as well as our local epidemic. This will not be easy to do. Infrastructure is poor. Clean water is not always available.
Simple antibiotics are scarce.
In such an environment, triple combination drug therapy for HIV is not a universal solution. A vaccine is imperative. Which brings me to the heart of my remarks. It will be very difficult to develop an AIDS vaccine. The social, political and economic obstacles are considerable.
