1.There is a lot of further work on ARVs in "developing countries".  The
problem I think is the exclusive economic agenda.  Specially in AIDS
where any exclusiveness has lead to dead ends.  If the call is for an
economic research agenda on ARVs, non-economist as myself will feel not
invitated and may let the economist make the agenda.  I think this is
not the idea of this forum.

2. In despite of the narrow angle proposed, I propose the incorparation
of politic economies.  Micro and macroecnomics.  Neoliberalism and its
impact on developing countries (and why not developed countries?) vis a
vis AIDS and ARVs.  Poverty and ARVs.  Employment perspectives in XXI
century and HIV/AIDS/ARV.

3.  Who will fund the research?  A joint effort among countries,
institutions and persons at both sides the (misterous) line of
development. 

4.  Great!  Is my first conference on line.  I must confess I am
susprised by the organization.  Congratulations.  One more comment:
Latin America is a very important region regarding HIV/AIDS and with
exceptional human resources who speaks only spanish, even economist.  Of
course I would not suggest to open the forum in spanish.  Just to think
how many would contribute to the discussion.
