  The Globalist | Global Health -- The Brazilian Model to Fight HIV/AIDS
AIDS invaded Brazil as the military retreated from its authoritarian rule in the early 1980s.
Led by AIDS patients, their families and a growing list of NGOs, Brazilian civil society organizations confronted the AIDS crisis within a broader social and political debate over the right to health and the government's obligations to provide healthcare.
The alarming rate of HIV infection was countered by the increasing concern of policymakers, health professionals and the mobilization of civil society to move the government toward a comprehensive response to the crisis through the public health system.

It occurred to us that visitors to Cuba have it pretty good: a very low infection rate in the native population, bargain basement prices, and women who are doing it for noble reasons, like out of necessity (as opposed to doing it to feed a drug habit or a pimp).
In the 1980s, when no one knew much about AIDS, you think that the Cubans made a bad choice in mandating treatment and education, despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of lives were saved.
But with you and the vast majority of the AIDS activist/interested parties, this is all about controlling people through the government.
