WAD: Twice as Many People on Treatment Worldwide

The incomparable John Donnelly reports that the number of poor people on AIDS treatment has roughly doubled in the last year. One million people have had their lives extended, though 10 million more need treatment.

Hidden headline: President Bush ended a 20-year-old ban on short-term travel into the United States by HIV-positive foreigners. This ban was a remnant from Reagan-era days of discrimination against people with HIV and, by implication, gays. It had also prevented major research and activist conferences from taking place in the United States, since many prominent people in the field are HIV-positive.

You are making some good points. I did a search on the topic and found that most people would agree.
