The survival rates of the two types of cancer are roughly the same.

What happened ... was simply a first step, it's just a piece of paper step two involves the money. Show me the money. Show me the investments.

We know that antiretroviral treatment works. It keeps people alive, and it also works in reducing the risk of transmission to other people, it is clear that the number one priority in reducing HIV in this country is to target men who have sex with men with better services so they can access testing and then be linked into treatment.

That's a lot of money, but relatively, it's not that much to get four times the coverage.

It's quite amazing. I don't know if it's the biggest single percentage cancellation move on record, but it must be up there.
