HIV isn't a rich man's disease considering its still primarily a disease that affects the African continent. The only movement in the west really came from gay rights advocates that had to fight, tooth and nail, for noteriety.
That's what I have already mentioned in my earlier post. But real movement on fighting the disease came only when it was understood that it could easily affect heterosexuals. The fact that there was such slow movement at first was due to the prejudice that it was a gay disease.
I don't buy the argument that HIV is better funded because its a "rich mans disease", its simply not true.
I said Western. AIDS wasn't "discovered" until it hit North America and Europe. It had been in Africa for many, many decades before that.
