Dear Reader

Please read below for this new development in HIV/AIDS treatment:

The Minister of Health Aaron Motsoaledi has officiallyrolled out the new fixed dose combination (FDC) ofanti-retroviral recently at Phedisong Clinic, Garanku-wa in Pretoria after announcing the plan last year.Motsoaledi said the new treatment means that HIVpositive patients will now take only one tablet insteadof three twice a day.“We will ensure that we make available over 900, 000units around the country for the FDC-suitable patientsto easily access the treatment,” said Motsoaledi.The minister said pregnant women who are HIV posi-tive will be given the FDC and breast feeding motherswill continue with the treatment as well as after givingbirth if their CD4 count is less than 350, adding: “Thechild will stop taking the pill after six months.”Andrew Mosane who was the first patient to receive theFDC at Phedisong Clinic said: “Since 2009, I nevertook any HIV/Aids treatment, and this is my first one.It is a victory to me and to be the first patient to starttaking the three in one anti-retroviral pill.”

All I can say is: I welcome anything that will help fightthis pandemic.
