Also malaria and TB is not exactly a big money maker, the people most affect by these 2 diseases are poor people. You make money form a rich man disease not a poor man disease.
Still Malaria, TB cures and vaccines and hard pressed to be found in third world countries other than those donated by the developed world. I mean I understand that HIV mutates likes nobodies business due to being a retro virus, but the fact is, the triple anti viral cocktails, you can live a life of relative comfort even with HIV. Instead of survival of the fittest, it's become survival of the richest.
