Dr Biziwick S. M. Mwale" Initially we were expecting to cover 25'000 people on ARVs over a period of five years. (...) But the prices of generic ARVs have gone down. That's why our estimates are that we should be able to put about 80'000 people on ARVs. "






" All major hospitals in Malawi are providing ARVs as I speak with support from the Global Fund. "






" Treatment has revolutionized the whole HIV/AIDS response. People are coming out in the open in large numbers to go for HIV test. We have doubled the HIV/AIDS testing over the last year, because people see treatment at the end of the tunnel "
