Bill Clinton(@BillClinton):We’ve spent decades working to lower the price of HIV medicines and expand access to prevention and treatment. Country ownership is the goal. But a deadline isn't a transition plan. Cheaper medicines mean nothing if they never reach people. What kind of country are we if we knowingly allow treatment to be interrupted, prevention to stop, and people to be left to die? We should be building for the possibility of tomorrow. Destroying decades of hard work to score political points carries a cost measured in human lives. And no perceived, short-term political victory is worth that.
