News Briefs Brazil to Share AIDS DrugsJuly 10, 2002 In a new challenge to the pharmaceutical industry, the Brazilian government has offered to share its generic AIDS drugs and the technology used to produce them with some of the world's poorest countries. By threatening to break patents if pharmaceutical companies did not manufacture the drugs locally, Brazil last year forced big cuts in prices and profit margins for producers. Under the new plan, government laboratories would donate generic drugs and pass on their know-how to programs in third world countries too impoverished to afford the drugs on the commercial market.
