chuckwoww Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thai AIDS death toll down sharply in 2005 Mon Jan 2,12:24 AM ET BANGKOK (AFP) - The number of deaths from AIDS last year fell sharply because of much wider access to anti-retroviral drugs in Thailand, the public health ministry said. Some 1,478 people died from AIDS between January and November last year compared to 6,593 for the same period in 2004, the ministry said. "The sharp drop is because of widespread access to anti-retroviral drugs which resulted in improvements to the lives of people living with AIDS and HIV," Thawat Suntrajarn, the Disease Control Department director said in a statement. http://tinyurl.com/bkfwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
