AIDS in South African Townships

The Bitter Pill

Available for over a year

People live closely together in the South African townships; with one in 10 people HIV positive, AIDS is spreading rapidly. AIDS patients in Africa die much faster than AIDS patients in the developed world, because they can't afford the treatment. How can big pharmaceutical companies be persuaded to help these people?
