How are other countries handling HIV prevention?

A country's success in preventing and treating AIDS depends very much on the attitude of the government. Successful poor countries have been Uganda, Thailand and Brazil, where the government has taken lead and done a lot of prevention advertising, provided their people with anti-retroviral therapy and encouraged them to come forward for testing. However, there are countries where HIV is an absolute disaster such as South Africa, where the government's attitude, at least up until very recently, has been very poor, and Russia, where up until recently their attitude has also been very poor. But more and more governments are starting to address the problem. About three years ago, China and India started to make major policy changes to test and treat people with HIV. So overall there are a lot of positives, but there's a lot more to be done in various countries with regards to handling HIV prevention.
