But this late ’60s scene is happening almost three decades too early. The date is April 18, 1940. A year later, the Pearl Harbor bombing and the country’s entry into the Second World War would remind the United States and its citizens of the impossibility of the American bubble, and Harvard would be no exception.

The few child-friendly regimens that have been available in liquid form came with a higher price tag than their pill-based adult counterparts, putting them out of reach for the low-income nations that harbor over 90% of the world's pediatric AIDS cases. It turns out that the bottles required to package the liquid formulations cost more to ship and make than pills...
