One more thing: How about this scenerio? The drug companies decide to stop production on a cure for AIDS. Why bother? If 95% of the infected people in the world live in countires that won't pay for it, why would they continue to research a cure? As the free "management" drugs become available, MORE people will get AIDS in these countries, because MORE people will be living longer, and therefore fucking and shooting up longer... with no cure in sight.
