HIV, and other sexually-transmitted diseases, are preventable using
anonymous testing. This site explains here how this can be done and how
this will change the way sexually-transmitted diseases will be controlled
in the future.
This development offers real hope of reducing the number of new infections
of HIV - currently running at 40,000 new cases each year in the USA. In
the world as a whole, there are currently around 60 million infected people
and over 20 million people have already died from HIV/AIDS. This disease
is considered by some to be in its early
phase.
Over the past 20 years, researchers and pharmaceutical companies have repeatedly
indicated that a vaccine
will arrive soon - this has yet to happen. In fact, almost all the research-dollars
are going towards the search for a cure. The lifetime treatment costs
of a person with HIV in the USA is about $150,000 - much of this goes on
pharmaceuticals.
A recent article "AIDS
conference closes on gloomy note" in the New Scientist gives a
flavour about where we stand today.
The solution proposed here was patented
and is offered entirely for free to any not-for-profit organization that
is prepared to use it correctly. The application described herein has received
the approval of the FDA.
