"Recognized as a regional and worldwide leader in HIV/AIDS work, Brazil has been proactive since its first AIDS case, and, manufactures low-cost versions of antiretrovirals (ARV) within its borders. It has provided ARV therapies free of charge to all HIV infected patients who meet the national medical guidelines for treatment since 1996. Currently, an estimated 125,000 persons receive ARVs."
