HIV-related deaths fall in China

Summary: China introduced free anti-retroviral drugs in 2003 and within seven years, it has made a remarkable achievement - cutting deaths by more than 60% of patients. The reseachers say that "Given the size of the country and the geographical spread of individuals with HIV, China's treatment coverage is remarkable.. but it is far from the goal of complete coverage of people who meet the criteria." According to the researchers, those include men, elderly, migrants and ethnic minority groups. The earlier people are diagnosed with HIV the greater chance they will lead a longer and healthier life, so they will continue with thier reseach to prevent deaths and the spread of HIV.

Comment: I think this is brillaint! Within seven years they have achieved a lot - cutting deaths by more than 60%. This obviously shows that HIV is not a incurable disease anymore and I hope the study will continue and make the percentage up to 100! My other hope is that this free anti-retroviral drugs policy  be introduced in countries such as South Africa where there are many patients of HIV. Make Earth a HIV free planet!
