Battling AIDS in India

Patrix writes about the AIDS tsunami…

Here’s an interview with the head of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in India - from the mckinsey quarterly on battling AIDS in India (you need registration but it is worth the effort)

In a country of a billion people, about 4.6 million are HIV positive. If the problem is left unchecked, that number could reach 20 million to 25 million by the decade’s end. A single country could have an HIV-positive population larger than the total populations of London, New York, and Tokyo combined.
