Daniel Halperin of the Harvard School of Public health, in this commentary published by Reuters, takes a contrarian look at the strategies for HIV/ AIDS prevention and treatment that are getting the most attention at the Aids Conference in Vienna.
He points out that universal testing and treatment as a method to end the epdiemic is financially unrealistic, and suggests cost effective strategies such as male circumcision should be pursued urgently.
“While we must continue to search for new technological approaches, let’s not forget that millions of lives have already been saved through using basic prevention approaches and common-sense changes in behavior,” he writes.

Right from the start, I have wondered about the financial sustainability of the universal testing and treatment model.
