  • 1 million HIV patients in India have no access to treatment

    Over one million HIV/AIDS patients in India are without access to the much-needed anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment, a new international report said today, suggesting that India should consider issuing compulsory licensing for increasing availability of drugs. The joint report issued by the World Health Organisation, UNAIDS, and UNICEF said India had made progress in scaling up access over the years, but said given its robust generic drug industry it could have done better.

    "India has done well in scaling up access to the ARV therapy over the last seven years," says a senior WHO official, suggesting there is still a huge gap to address.

    A South African pastor has angered Christians by preaching a sermon entitled Jesus was HIV positive in a bid to combat the stigma surrounding HIV and Aids. "My responsibility as a pastor is to paint a picture of a God who cares for people and wants the best for them, not who judges them and is ashamed of them," Sky News quoted Reverend Xola Skosana as telling the Mail And Guardian newspaper.
