WHO backs use of 3-drug AIDS pill (2)
-------------------------------------

I have to ask this, what happens to all the children living with
HIV/AIDS including the 2.7 million in sub-Saharan Africa and the
700,000 newly infected ones in 2003 alone?

Will the 3 in 1 pill be suitable for all? Are we going to wait
until the adult access programme takes off successfully (I hope)
and the children start to die because their caregivers cannot
afford non-discounted ARVs?

I think all PLWAs - adult or children - should be considered ab
initio.
