In today's show, we spoke to Joe Maila - Spokesperson for Health Minister Aaron
Motsoaledi. He was speaking to us about the rollout most advanced ARV’s. Last week
Thursday, the Health Minister announced the rollout of a new anti-retroviral
drug regime that’s been dubbed the most advanced drug in the world. This new
fixed dose tablet that combines three ARVs into one will be made available in
SA as from April 2013. It’s expected to change the way people take their
life-saving drugs as patients would no longer have to take three tablets, three
times a day but instead only one once a day. Dr Motsoaledi was quoted saying
this should help people comply with their treatment and would reduce the side
effects from the drugs and also the logistical complications to ensure people
get their pills.
