AIDS Activists Cautiously Hopeful Over U.S.-South Africa Medicines Agreement
1999
Overview
WASHINGTON, Sept. 17 /U.S. Newswire/ -- A coalition of AIDS activist organizations that has dogged Vice President Al Gore on his campaign trail for months reacted hopefully to the announcement that the U.S. and South Africa had reached an agreement today settling a trade dispute over access to medicines. Vice President Al Gore, in his role as the Chair of the U.S.- South Africa Binational Commission, and U.S. Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky have threatened sanctions against South Africa due to the nation's efforts to produce generic versions of drugs to fight AIDS and other life-threatening illnesses (called compulsory licensing), and to shop around the globe for the best price, a practice called parallel importing. \"If this agreement truly puts an end to the aggressive efforts of the U.S. to stop South Africa's efforts to save lives by providing essential medications using compulsory licensing and parallel importing, then it's a victory for the people of South Africa,\" said ACT UP New York's Mark Milano. \"Now, the U.S. must extend this policy to all nations in need of affordable medicines for people with AIDS and other serious illnesses,\" continued Milano.
