Two weapons ready for AIDS fight

According to this article from http://news.monstersandcritics.com/health/features/article_1271040.php/Two_weapons_ready_for_AIDS_fight, two new drugs have been developed to combat HIV virus. The first drug, Raltegravir, made by Merck, is an "investigative integrase inhibitor that blocks HIV replication. Integrase is one of the three enzymes the virus uses to duplicate itself. The other two enzyme inhibitor drugs have already been developed. The other drug, Maraviroc, developed by Pfizer, is a CCR5 inhibitor. To put it in plain language, "in order for HIV to enter a cell, it has to go through a doorway. The virus is like a key to that door, but it requires a receptor, CCR5 or CXCR4, to turn the combination of that lock." Both drugs are shown to reduce HIV virus load in 77% to 98% of patients whose virus have developed immunity to other drugs. This means that people who were on the ropes to heaven/hell has say about another 2-3 years to live until those drugs fail. While this break through in HIV medicine is noteworthy, I have a few problems with it. As you all probably know, I'm somewhat of a social critic who has a rather sarcastic view of the world. These drugs will not cure a HIV infected person; the drug will just prolong their meaningless/miserable life. It's like gambling in Vegas, you might come across some good luck, but you know the house always wins in the end. This discover opens two scenarios. A. an AIDs patient has the money for the drug, but knows that he/she will only live for 2-3 more years. B. an AIDs patient doesn't have the money and will certainly die but knows that he/she could have been saved to stay alive for a little longer. Both cases are depressing, I don't know which one is worse, knowing that death is imminent or the fact that you are going to die sooner, but could have been saved. This leads to my final point. While those drugs are great, they only benefit those who can afford it. The wealthy are but a small percentage of people who catch AIDs. It's like how the poor are usually obese. (Only the rich has the time and money to eat healthy and get a personal fitness instructor.) If we really want to do something about this epidemic, we need to target the high risk groups. Otherwise, I say, it's better being dead. You save your family money and the long emotional ordeal over the years, not to mention the contribution to decreasing number of HIV/AIDS carriers. I'd rather see my loved one die and get on with life than knowing that they are struggling physically and mentally every day just to go through life. That's not life, that's torture for every one involved.
