	Tasting Metal Sangonet Pulse Dr. Ayesha Jacub Excerpt: "Newer antiretroviral drugs are constantly being developed. Some have fewer side-effects, some are more effective against emerging resistant HIV strains and some require taking fewer pills daily. Johnson and Johnson, the pharmaceutical company usually associated with caring mothers and gently cared for babies holds patents on three key new HIV drugs desperately needed throughout the developing world, and have so far refused to license these patents to the Medicines Patent Pool, reports Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Full Story: http://www.ngopulse.org/article/tasting-metal Take Action- Invite Johnson & Johnson to the Patent Pool Party: http://stopaidscampaign.org/poolparty/ I for one will be boycotting Johnson & Johnson products until they join the pool and allow production of affordable generics!
