Summary:	The incomplete distribution of HIV therapy, coupled with uneven HIV transmission rates throughout a population, seem to predict a failure of commodity health care to reduce HIV incidence. Paradoxically, heterogeneity in HIV transmission risk combined with the appropriately targeted antiretroviral therapeutic strategy may offer a substantial public health benefit if HIV surveillance and treatment can be coordinated.
