WASHINGTON, Aug 6 2007 (IPS) – China and the United States have agreed on measures to improve the safety of Chinese exports of food and drugs following a wave of scandals involving tainted products.
The move could defuse tensions between the world s biggest consumer and exporter. Beijing has cited its own safety concerns in blocking imports of U.S. food but officials and commentators here have seen the action as retaliation for U.S. rejection of Chinese goods.
Chinese authorities and visiting U.S. officials agreed on an initial framework to strengthen product safety standards and their enforcement, the state-run Xinhua news agency said Saturday. Details of the agreement, reached with a delegation of senior officials of the U.S. Department of Health and Huma…

BANGKOK, Sep 3 2007 (IPS) – The search for answers to the spread of the deadly bird flu virus is calling into question a long-held practice in science where recognition is given to positive test results, say experts meeting in the Thai capital.
It stems from lack of clear evidence to link wild birds to the cases of avian influenza (AI) that have infected poultry populations across countries and continents, they add. Yet this view has not taken flight because of a bias in science against negative test results .
Science by its nature is about discovery, about finding something positive and concrete. But there is a problem with science when studies offer a negative result that reveals so much, says William Karesh, head of the Global Avian Influenza …

PINAR DEL RIO, Cuba, Mar 17 2008 (IPS) – Activism against AIDS is uniting a group of transvestites and crossdressers in western Cuba in a project that is going beyond peer education and making inroads into the world of culture.
The time has come to take us seriously. We are in a position to demand our place in society, to contribute to AIDS prevention through our art, and to be respected for our abilities and knowledge, a Cuban transvestite, whose artistic name is that of Mexican actress and singer Ninel Conde, told IPS.
I never felt so sure of myself as I do now. When I used to dress in male clothes, I would always hang my head. Since I put on a pair of high heels, I have felt proud of being who I am. I began to be happy with myself, and I walk down th…

New Delhi, Jul 12 2010 (IPS) – At a time when the World Health Organisation (WHO) faces charges that it hyped up the swine flu pandemic to benefit pharmaceutical companies, India is sprucing up its indigenous capacity to manufacture vaccines against the H1N1 virus.
The privately-owned Serum Institute of India has launched Nasovac , a nasal spray, following clearance from the Drug Controller of India. The spray follows Vaxiflu-S , a single dose injectable manufactured by the Indian pharmaceutical major Zydus-Cadila, which has been on Indian drug store shelves since Jun. 3.
With a large population (1.2 billion) spread over a vast country, we cannot depend on other countries for vaccines against a pandemic like swine flu, India s health minister Ghulam Nab…

NAIROBI, Oct 17 2014 (IPS) – Although AIDS has defied science by killing millions of people throughout Africa in the last three decades, HIV experts now believe that they have found the magic numbers to end AIDS as a public health threat in 15 years.
The magic numbers are and are informed by growing clinical evidence showing that HIV treatment equals prevention because putting people on antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces new infections.
The new treatment targets seek that, by 2020:
90 percent of people living with HIV get…
