The cost of distribution likely exceeds the manufacturing cost
especially if you want to hold doses that escape Africa to less than
1% and minimise the number of doses taken by persons who are not HIV
positive. Africa has very few doctors and trained (in first world AIDS
diognosis) medical technicians.  Neil
