"Brazil's AIDS Program: A Costly Success," American Enterprise Institute: The report, written by AEI Resident Fellow Roger Bate and Africa Fighting Malaria Director Richard Tren, examines the "tactics favored by the Brazilian government" to reduce antiretroviral treatment costs as part of its "widely respected AIDS treatment program." The report says that although the program "has recorded many notable successes, the aggressive stance that the country has taken in threatening drug patents and forcing down drug prices could weaken incentives for long-run development of new drugs" (Bate/Tren, "Brazil's AIDS Program: A Costly Success," 12/12).
