THE CHANGING FACE OF LIVING WITH HIV IN AFRICA

Now onto the other story, one of many featured in the magazine! The story of the lazarus effect. I was reading bellanaija's blog today regarding the statements made by Betty Irabor in her magazine. It just so happened that bella's post today coincides with what I planned to show you readers. That people are living with the virus. If given the right treatment. You may have seen pictures of "aids is real" , while it is real we must also celebrate the successes over the years especially in Africa!

This picture below is a picture of Silva stricken from AIDS


This is a picture of her today? Do you see the difference? This is all thanks to the ARV drugs available for $140 a year as opposed to $10000 previously. "First introduced in 1987, anti-retroviral drugs—ARVs for short—block H.I.V.'s assault on the body's immune system. As the drugs have improved, becoming less toxic and easier to take, they have largely turned aids in the Western world from a death sentence into a manageable disease. But the drugs' high price—a year's supply can exceed $10,000 in the developed world—has kept them way out of reach for most Africans. In 2003, a coalition of activists led by former president Bill Clinton pulled off the heroic feat of persuading four manufacturers to make ARVs available to developing countries for $140 a year." vanity fair june 2007.

The magazine is huge! I will blog some more about the other featured stories in the magazine.

Now onto some fun facts!

Dbanj got his BMW from the charitables! Who are the charitables you may ask? They are the pirates! The made so much money from him they gifted him a BMW.

So back to the story above what do you say? My thoughts are people will live if given the right drugs! As you can see from the picture.

Thanks for sharing this. It is pretty miraculous the effect that ARVs have in turning around the lives of people living with HIV. What saddens me though is - out of the 7 million people who need treatment with ARVs globally only a little over 2 million people are receiving it. So people like Silva - though a small percentage of the total - are the lucky ones who can turn their lives around.
