South Africa slammed at Aids summit
South Africa came under withering attacks at the closing of the week-long global Aids conference yesterday, with some of the world’s leading Aids experts accusing the government of ignoring the epidemic and promoting “lunatic” prevention methods.
As the 16th International Aids Conference concluded in Toronto, Canada – after promising news about trials of prevention approaches using microbicides and male circumcision – leaders called on governments to keep their financial pledges to fund the global fight against the epidemic.
