In every aids-dedicated talk somebody is bound to say
"we (they) are treated like lepers.....

Which makes me wonder. How frequent were leprosy cases lately?
Any cure/vaccination breakthroughs?
My for all I know the only way people were battling leprosy was 
isolation of afflicted. Any attempts of cure were ending very
sadly for the good docs for last 10000 yrs or so.
Does anyone have a more detailed picture?
