Stealing ARV’s

User Rating: / 0

The syndicates operating in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, Eastern Cape and Western Cape, are said to be raiding clinics, mugging Aids patients and attempting to hijack distribution trucks. The government's treatment sites - there are about 4 000 which provide ARV’s to about 700 000 patients - are also being targeted. The drug, called ‘Whoonga or Wunga’, is a concoction of dagga, the Stocrin antiretroviral and several other substances including chemicals found in rat poison. It is used by thousands of addicts who are reportedly paying between R15 and R35 for a dose. Aids activists, city councilors and healthcare workers in the four provinces said there were up to 100 new cases a week of Aids patients being robbed of Stocrin, also known as Efavirenz and Sustiva.
