Just for your information, a person can be HIV positive under meds and never have AIDS.
But how about we get to the point of a country in pretty severe debt spending spending $2.7B outside the country. Where do you think that money comes from?
So we spent $2.7B in this aid, but yet, in Canada, we spend less than half that on all research for all diseases, including HIV/AIDS.
I’m not saying keep throwing money at a foreign problem. But that foreign problem will directly lead to the spread of hiv and aids to your country.
Also the HIV is more likely to turn into aids without the drugs.
Here is a big part of the problem that’s solvable.
The pharmaceutical companies are bleeding your country dry on the prices they charge for these drugs.
You all could just make them yourself. And essentially take proprietary ownership of the drug.
Why not?
The drug companies have been compensated beyond what they should have been.
These drugs were developed with tax payers money.
The people/state should own drug formulas.
Companies should not be able to withhold health care in this way. They literally are choosing profit over lives.
Take the formula. Make your own drugs.
In the U.S we have some law that lets the government do this. Though it’s not been used appropriately. It should be used all the time for drugs like insulin and cancer drugs.
Take that 2billion and invest in infrastructure to produce these drugs yourself and for your own people.
The aid was for HIV meds. They already had HIV.
We are getting squeezed by the US, we cannot afford $2.7B in debt spending for aid.
You know hiv turns into aids right ?
So you have nothing useful to add.
