More Women Than Men On ARVs
Monday, August 06, 2007
Machao was speaking at a Botswana Bureau of Standards (BOBS) 'Wellness Day' occasion last week.
Machao said that men come late to the health facilities and they only go when things are unbearable.
He said that often men were fearful that they might have HIV but did not want to know. Machao said that the numbers of patients who have died before being started on treatment are 7,396. He said that government continues to bear the brunt of costs. In 2005, a person on first line drugs cost P4, 000 a year.
Second line drugs cost P7, 000 per person a year and third line drugs cost P9, 000 per person per year for the government.
The contest had 10 beautiful young girls as finalists and unfortunately only one could wear the crown.The judges picked Anicia Gaothuse. To all those who feel their contestant should have won ahead of Anicia for whatever reason, hardly; the judges found Anicia to be the best among the best, so desist from disrespecting our newly crowned queen on social media or anywhere else, for that matter! Each of the 10 beautiful young women had supporters...
