Unsustainable ARVs 'jails the HIV-positive'

In the findings of Kitso Aids Training Programme made public in 2008, as of January 2007, for instance, there were 60,000 cumulative HIV/AIDS-related deaths. Kitso Aids Training Programme is an NGO working with HIV/AIDS specialists in combating the dreaded disease in Botswana.

This shows an increase in HIV/AIDS-related deaths when the 2003 estimates of 33,000 are considered. In 2003, 350,000 persons were estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS, which resulted into 33,000 deaths within the same year.  But the government of Botswana, in conjunction with NGOs, is determined to strangle the devastation that the scourge is visiting upon its citizens.
