Talk:HIV/AIDS in Brazil

GA issues
Can someone check this quote from the article  Similarly, Slavi Pachovski, a member of the Institute for Trade Standards and Sustainable Development, argues:[28]

''If this trend proceeds, it we be a global pandemic of AIDS that will grow uncontrollable because the Brazilian move will destroy the whole legal order that is the basis for developing new drugs and continuing research. ''

Passed GA
Congratulations to the editors of this article in achieving GA Status, the one query listed above needs to confirmed/corrected but it is sufficient reason not to promote. Gnangarra 13:18, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Great I thought it was, but could have been a direct translation. Gnangarra 00:28, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Information needed
Hello, I was also coming here to do a GA evaluation, but it looks like I was too slow. I think this is an informative article with an impressive number of citations. However, there are a few facts that I think are very important to include: Thanks, Johntex\talk 01:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) One would be a comparison of where Brazil rates worldwide with respect to thinkgs like infection rate and spending on prevention and treatment.
 * 2) Is most transmission of HIV in Brazil between heterosexuals?
 * 3) Also, Prostitution is mentioned but I don't see any explanation of how important it is to AIDS in Brazil.
 * 4) Is it believed to be a major cause? The major cause?
 * 5) Is it heterosexual prostitution?
 * 6) What percentage of prostitutes are infected and are they allowed to still work if they are infected?


 * I did a couple quick google and google scholar searches and was unable to find this information. Do you have reason to believe that such statistics exist? savidan(talk) (e@) 20:24, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have no evidence these figures exist, but my intuition tells me they must. That does not mean they will be easy to find, of course.  It seems to me that the questions above pertaining to prostitution are especially important since prostitution has a sizable section here.  The reader may very well ask "How important is prostitution to the spread of HIV and what is being done about it."  Thanks for trying to find the info. Johntex\talk 20:58, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

The WTO site is false
Just to let you know, the quote from the WTO saying Brazil is going on a path of economic sickness is false. It's from gatt.org, which is a parody of wto.org. This is undermining the credibility of this site. Please make sure next time you quote sources that those sites are not parodies.
