In some countries, large majorities said AIDS is a bigger problem now than it was five years ago. But in most countries,the survey found the strong things of progress in treating and preventing H.I.V. Yet,finding new drugs and other treatments for public health problems is one thing, putting them to use in developing countries where they could save thousands of lives each day is another. Scientists at the forgaty international center in Maryland say more work in the area of implementation science could breach  the problem.Keren Haffman is head of international science policy at the center, part of national institutes of health. She describes implementation science as the next level for health research. One example she notes is male succession.Studies have found that it may help prevent the spread of H.I.V.But different cultures react differently to the idea of succession.Dr.Haffman says researchers must now study how best to employ this medical intervention in culturally sensitive ways. Another example is drugs that are normally effective in suppressing H.I.V.In poor countries, these might not work in patients who also suffer from Malaria, tuberculosis or bad nutrition. In another words,Dr.Haffman says, when it comes to treatments, one size does not fit all.
