HIV treatments for children

Former President Clinton announced a deal that will bring medications to HIV positive children worldwide for a mere $60 per year. An Indian pharmaceutical company will supply the drugs and financial support, about $50 milloin, comes from the US, Britain, France, Brazil, Chile, and Norway. The 19 different antiretroviral drugs will be distributed to different countries which will then use their own public health infrastructure to distribute the medication to infected children. Mr. Clinton is also trying to negotiate a similar deal for adults.
