Problems with ARV: Request urgent attention of NACO

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum members,

On behalf of Rajasthan Network for People living with HIV/AIDS, I would like to

bring to your notice that we are loosing many friends due to ART complications.

The ART drugs which is being given through NACO program has been interupted

from time to time.

PLHA here are facing hard time with the Efavirenz based regimen " Emcure " . From

about six months, this drug has been started and it is been given along with

Zidovidin. PLHA who are on this regimen are facing heavy side effects like

blood vomitting, diarhoea, rashes, weight loss and so on. Six are

hospitalised and some are dead.

We will be investigating more on this and planning for filing a case against the

people found with fault and would also claim for compensation.

INP+ team has already brought this in notice of Dr. Sujata Rao (PD of NACO).

We demand that these drugs should be investigated and immediate actions should

be taken.

Brijesh Dubey,

President - RNP+
