John Tedstrom, executive director of the Global Business Coalition (GBC) on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, fears recent progress in rolling out life-saving drugs has deflected attention from the fact infections are still spiralling upwards…"We are not watching the fact that the number of people in Africa who become HIV positive every day is still 10 times greater than the number of people who go on ARVs (anti-retrovirals)" [said Tedstrom]...Mark Moody-Stuart, chairman of both the GBC and miner Anglo American Plc said more companies needed to recognise that action on AIDS was in their self-interest …The GBC in January signed up its first Japanese member, Sumitomo Chemical...[part of Sumitomo Group] but Tedstrom wants a lot more firms in Japan and elsewhere to come on board.
