One of the difficulties in the development of anti - hiv


One of the difficulties in the development of anti - HIV drugs is that HIV only infects humans. This precludes testing of drugs in animals and instead requires that drugs be tested on volunteer human subjects. The developing world has the highest rates of HIV infection. Consequently, the drug manufacturer's frequently conduct studies in these regions. Some people decry these tests, fearing that the drug companies may profit hugely from the use of economically disadvantaged people. Others counter that such tests are the only way to find new and cheaper drugs that will ultimately help everyone.
