United in Anger does acknowledge the somewhat discordant agendas and priorities that each group supported, but minimizes the disparity between the support each received. For example, there were many activists solely concerned with the short-term “drugs into bodies” agenda who viewed the end goal simply as the development of a treatment and/or cure to AIDS. In his interview in United in Anger, Gregg Gonsalves acknowledges this motivation stating “people came to ACT UP out of the fear of God that…

I think the I chose the Act Against AIDS campaign for this week’s discussion board. I related to the message of not only reaching out to a specific group but to actually try and reach out to the entire United States. The message to refocus national attention on the HIV and AIDS crisis stood out to me. I felt The Act Against AIDS national campaign works to combat complacency by reminding all Americans of the significant health threat of HIV in our communities (Act Against AIDS 2). Current…

monitors the prevalence of HIV and other related infections, as well as associated risk behaviours through bio-behavioural surveillance among key populations (e.g. aboriginals, people who inject drugs, and men who have sex with men).

The Glaxo-Wellcome situation to me is much simpler than the reading presents it. I believe that for the sake of continued success going forward, it is in the best interest of both Wellcome Israel and Ofra Sherman to pursue their interest in completely becoming the newest team members of Glaxo. While Wellcome is considered successful, falling between 10th and 20th worldwide in revenue (Jick, T. & Peiperl, M., 2011.), its is not uncommon for these rankings to change dramatically overnight.…

Also, underground drug trials began,…

In the United States in 2010, nearly 4 billion retail…

The antagonists of the film are pharmaceutical firms (collectively referred to as Big Pharma) who, through the utilization of false advertising, patents, and international treaties, barr citizens of developing nations from receiving the quality treatment they rightly deserve. As someone who was…
