Immediate release: MSF reports on
progress and challenges of expanding AIDS treatment programs
12th July, 2004
Treatment of people living with HIV/AIDS with antiretroviral medicines
(ARVs) is effective, even for patients at advanced stages of the
disease living in resource-poor settings, according to new clinical
data released by MSF today at the XV International AIDS Conference
in Bangkok. Simplification of treatment, including use of three-in-one
fixed-dose combinations (FDCs) of ARVs, has allowed MSF to rapidly
scale up its AIDS treatment program from 1,500 patients in 10
countries to 13,000 patients in 25 countries over two years.
