The use of a reduced dose of d4T (stavudine), as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), did not reduce the likelihood of viral load suppression after 6 months in a large cohort of South African patients, researchers from the Aurum Institute of Health Research report in the 24 August edition of AIDS.
The National AIDS Prevention Center provides free healthcare with antiretroviral therapy, which consists of five generic pharmaceuticals made in Cuba: AZT (zidovudine); D4T (stavudine); 3TC (lamivudine) DDI (didanoside) and crixivan (indinavir).
