Western approaches to HIV/AIDS

There are some very valuable things that western allopathic medicine has contributed to the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Perhaps most importantly, is the overall understanding and knowledge of how HIV is transmitted. This helps to educate more people about preventative measures they can take to help avoid contracting HIV/AIDS. I also think it's quite amazing that a baby born to a mother who has HIV has only a one-percent chance of becoming infected with HIV when reverse transcriptase inhibitors along with a caesarian birth are used.
