Viagra is Huge in Mexico - What's up with That? - Fox News Latino: "Mexico is the largest market for erectile dysfunction in the developing world, with about $200 million in sales every year.
That is why Pfizer has chosen the country for the introduction of Viagra Jet, a tablet that can be taken without water and will dissolve quickly -- making it more convenient to use in the heat of the moment. Pfizer hopes that this innovation will help it keep keep its foothold in Mexico’s lucrative erectile dysfunction drug market a year before their patent on the drug runs out and generics enter the picture.
Viagra’s success in Mexico is obvious, but experts in sexual health are not entirely sure why.
Two years after Viagra hit the market in Mexico in1998 and Pfizer launched a multi-million dollar advertising campaign, the number of visits to doctor in Mexico where patients mainly complained about erectile dysfunction increased 279 percent, according to a study."

UN report: 1.6 mln HIV carriers in Latin America, Caribbean
UN report: 1.6 mln HIV carriers in Latin America, Caribbean

PANAMA CITY, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Latin America and the Caribbean have about 1.6 million people carrying the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) that can cause the deadly disease AIDS, the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/Aids (UNAIDS) said on Thursday. Latin America has not registered any improvement in the fight against the spread of HIV/AIDS, said UNAIDS Regional Director Cesar Nunez, releasing the findings of a new report for the state of HIV/AIDS. Nunez, urging governments across Latin America and the Caribbean to increase efforts to combat the spread of HIV, suggested governments to focus their work on the prevention among younger people and at schools in order to avoid the spread of HIV in the region. "At this time of crisis, let us optimize the means and let us not fall into complacence," he said. But Nunez said that Latin America, however, is the region with the best coverage of medicine available to HIV carriers, as about 51 percent of those living with the virus have access to HIV/AIDS medicine. "In the South American countries we have a (medical) coverage of 70 percent which encourage us to believe we can increase the coverage level in Central America," he said. According to the report, there are now 33 million HIV carriers in the world.
