Russia and the Ukraine are witnessing an increase in HIV AIDS cases like no other nations in the world. Indeed even greater than Africa. The big problem is that governments do not address the main 'source' of this infection in the first place. What they should be doing is to stop the next generation of HIV AIDS infected people emerging - the prevention is better than cure dictate (although living carriers have also to be humanely addressed also). For only by stopping it at the infants and drug addiction stage can HIV AIDS be defeated if common sense is used.
In this respect Vietnam have introduced into their health service a humane treatment for the cure of hard drug addicts. This has been created by 15 years of collaboration with German and Vietnamese scientists and doctors. The medicine is composed of 13 plant extracts and therefore is non-addictive like methadone et al. It is also a very cheap medicine and only a fraction of the cost of the drug sustaining substitute treatments there is in the 'West'.
What happens is that the hard drug addition patient enters a clinic on a Monday, is detoxified with 72 hours and is discharged on a Friday. The beauty also of this treatment is that there is no 'cold turkey'.
My advice therefore is that the Russian and Ukraine health ministers (and health ministers from any other country for that matter) get on a plane to Hanoi to see this incredible treatment and to sign a MOU with the Vietnamese Government.
