Harare — GOVERNMENT will soon introduce a new drug for HIV and Aids patients to protect them from contracting tuberculosis.
Health and Child Welfare Minister Cde David Parirenyatwa yesterday said the preventive drug called isoniazide had been recommended by the World Health Organisation and was already being used in other countries.
"We are very worried about co-infection, a situation where HIV and Aids patients are infected with other diseases and tuberculosis in particular, given its devastating effects on them. "The drug is meant to prevent those patients from catching TB in addition to HIV and Aids," Cde Parirenyatwa said.
At least 70 percent of people with TB were HIV positive.
Health personnel will be trained to administer the drug after which it will be introduced. "We are going to train our staff throughout the country who are going to administer the drug before we introduce it. We are also going to put in place a policy framework for the drug," Cde Parirenyatwa said.
He said of late Zimbabwe had been putting a lot of emphasis on HIV and Aids and overlooking other killer diseases such as tuberculosis and malaria.

Please try the simple experiment for AIDS Treatment by the named DAFP's Formula : 1. AIDS patient must be treated in FRR ( Free Radiation treatment Room ), on the other word to stop / terminated or eliminated the influence of radiation ( ultraviolet and its interaction with other radiation / local radiation ). I am quite sure AIDS is caused by radiation, if the influence of radiation is terminated, " HIV " will " die " by itself. 2. To increase the invulnerability AIDS patient please try the main menu roast-beef from a fat young cow. Please… [Read Full Text]
Aids is caused by radiation?What happened to it being a virus!
It will be fantastic when they eventually work out how to cure it but till then people need to be educated on how to stop it spreading.
Omnivir kills HIV, Fights AIDS, Protects Immune System and Prolongs Life
Omnivir is a medical device that generates humidified active oxygen in the form of a very energetic oxygen singlet (O) , pure oxygen (O2) and triatomic oxygen (O3, also known as medical ozone). Omnivir is used at home or clinics to care for HIV by reducing viral load, boosting immune and detoxifying the body.
How Active Oxygen works on HIV and Immune System: Active Oxygen deactivates and eventually kills HIV by destroying its protective skin. Ozones destructiveness nature on HIV, virus and bacteria is partly attributed to the… [Read Full Text]
This is the reason HIV/AIDS is so prevalent: IGNORANCE!
Sit in a lead lined dark room and eat roast beef(from a fat young cow)and in two weeks the virus will die?
Not one of the most outlandish treatments I've heard of. Still at least it isn't having unprotected sex with a virgin I suppose.
Treatment for HIV/AIDS = Highly Active Anti Retroviral Treatment.
How not to acquire HIV/AIDS = Condoms and/or abstinence/monogamy.
Treatment for AIDS = ART, yes, but " HIV " still in host-genome. Condom ? Yes, if its use for " HIV " prevention. No, if its use for free sex. But, they use condom or not, the free sex doer make themselves something like nuclid radioactive with characteristic ABSORBER to all radiation. Don't you know viruses are caused by radiation ? Really ? How about Flu viruses, where are flu viruses come from ? Its also caused by ultraviolet radiation ( UV ). The UV make change the air to be O3, ...........by the chemical processes the… [Read Full Text]

As Zimbabwe is as broke as ever, how is it going to do the research? Use mopane leaves?
