Problem: More than 90% of HIV infected people live in developing countries and do not have access to anti-HIV medications. Drug companies spend $10 -100 million to develop current anti-HIV drugs and must recoup that money, making it difficult for them to provide the drugs at low cost. Which of the following actions should be taken to increase access to treatment for most of the world's HIV+ individuals?
1. Governments join to provide tax breaks to multi-national corporations which develop and manufacture anti-HIV drugs.
2. The World Bank provides loans to developing countries to purchase drugs to treat HIV.
3. The US Government purchases drugs and distributes them to developing countries.
4. What other alternatives might increase access to HIV treatment?
