Going to add more stuff… Hahaha… Well, reality bites.

Assume providing 50% subsidy to all HIV patients in Singapore is $9.4M per year ONLY:
If……
-> The lower income peoples ask for this $9.4M per year to help them.
-> The poor old peoples asking for this $9.4M per year to help them with nursing care.
-> Etc. Etc. Etc.

Who do you give that $9.4M per year?

And if the projection on HIV cases is going up (and there is no effective solution to bring it down), that means more money will be required per year.

So, who do you give that money to after considering priority for all other issues?

The public CNA poll represents a pathetic proportion of the population. And, by focusing on a single issue without acknowledging other priorities that require funding, it is easy to say YES to subsidies.

This might be controversial… May invite flaming… But who cares.

Before we expect the State/Politicians/Society-In-General to consider AIDS treatment subsidies, fair treatment (all aspects) for HIV patients, and whatever else you can think of, try answering these questions:
1) What is the projection/forecast on HIV cases worldwide? Going up? Or going down? What is the rate?
2) How effective are current measures to reduce spread of HIV?
3) Can we eliminate HIV in 1 or 2 generations with the current measures?
4) Do you have more effective measures?

When you have answers, form a group, do publicity and petition, push the case up to Parliament – It will be accepted. Everybody will accept it. Naturally, there will be treatment subsidies as well.
BTW, don’t ask me, nobody likes my draconian solution (posted somewhere in this blog).

Well this is a nice Blog on most important facts. I am happy to read this. But I am looking more and more info. Please add some thing more. I shall link from my blogs to this blog to day itself.
Last week I have found a nice informative guide on HIV from following URL http://www.hiv-info.org/health-news.php
This site says – HIV should Cure Through herbal medicines and Holistic Treatment, It’s a latest treatment it can kill HIV virus. This site gives you all the information about HIV. Guide claims that HIV viruses can’t be killed but they can be ousted out of the body cells using bio magnetic repulsion or something written. I dreamt of a HIV free world after reading this guide.
Hope to read more from you people soon.
Wish you all a nice and fantastic Day for you
