The US government has emergency powers to limit patents. I can't recall a time it's been yet in recent memory (but they could pull out the parliamentarian bullshit).

But you'd think a drug that reduces the transmission of HIV down to under a percent would be freely available. I mean just make it freely available, have doctors recommend it when applicable, and we could reduce HIV to a more manageable condition.
