Availability of 2nd line ARV drugs in UP

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum,

National Level Availability 2nd line drugs

Re: /message/10074

We agree that access to 2nd line ARV drug is a searious problem of entire HIV+ve

community in various parts of the country.

It was a declaration by the health minister then the system said that we are in

a frame of pilot project in Maharastra & Tamil Nadu . After that on the behalf

of findings consening athourity selected one centre for the roll  out of 2nd

line in U.P.

We were glad to hear that PLHAs of U.P. also will start getting  2nd line drugs,

but unfortunatly till today the centre is not in a position to disperse 2nd line

drugs to those who are not from the consening districts (Varanasi).

There is a lack of commitment & senstivity shown by the system & till today the

picture is not clear .  In a series of incident we have lost one of our PLHIV by

the fault of the system & 2-3 are there in a Que.

So wheather we should wait & watch PLHIV dying in a lack of medicine ?
