ABSTRACT
One of the most important barriers in the world fight
against HIV/AIDS is access to treatment (Médecins
Sans Frontières, 2004). Modern science has made
significant medical advances in the past decade but
new drug treatment remains far beyond reach in
certain parts of South East Asia, South America,
Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The
region of sub-Saharan Africa, with its vast and
remote geography, is by far the most seriously
affected, with approximately thirty million cases of
HIV/AIDS.
