He says "One of the Bank's most important contributions is providing countries with evidence to better understand where and how new HIV infections are occurring, and to use proven approaches to tackle these infections. With better evidence we can make prevention services succeed and make AIDS treatment more sustainable."<br /><br />That depends on what is done with the evidence. There is plenty of evidence that prevention programs have not been working, without any change of tack. And there is also plenty of evidence that not all HIV is transmitted sexually. That evidence just hasn't given rise to further research or adequate investigation.<br /><br />All the evidence in the world will not make a career bureaucrat do anything that might get between them and their future 'successes'.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13522180315970081603noreply@blogger.com
