Re: A querry on second line drug

[Guest guest]

Dear Dr.B.B.Rewari,

Re: /message/10152

This is in regard to the 2nd line ARV, in our state we have approximately 7000

PLHAs registered and there 3800 ARV 1st lineand there are only 5 on 2nd line at

the Government ART Center, we as a Forum Based in Bangalore have come accrose

there are some people those who are taking 2nd line ARV drugs from NGO supported

by some Donors.

Presently they are finding it difficult to maintain as the donated amount

differs from tha actual cost and some donors have told them they cannot sponsor

as the Government ART center is giving free 2nd line ARV drugs.

As i understand as per the Naco guidelines only registered PLHAs acn be given

2nd line ARV drugs,refering to your previous mail you said any such problems

mail to me for help.

Now let me know what we can do for those who are not getting 2nd line ARV drugs

when they are not registered in the ART center and how can you and we can help

the needy PLHAs

Awaiting your speedy respopnse

Thanks and regards
