Urgent Need of ARV second line Therapy and Pediatric Formulation

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

The NACO roll out ARV therapy is almost two years, as off now, they are

providing only the first line therapy of WHO approved for resource poor

setting country. If one develop resistance `what will be his future' where will

he/she go??

That is a millions questions one has to ask!!

Its almost two years now the roll out of ARV still their is no

Pediatrics formulation for children's one has to break adult dose in to two,

even though the NACO ART roll out give priority to

children's.

In New Delhi RML ART Clinic alone more than 80 children's are on ART and they

are breaking adult dose in to two, that mean there is high chances of overdose

or resistance, I think NACP III should give priority to this issues if not the

ART roll out program could be a disaster.
