Why we must provide treatment information

Francina Lusungu Nyirenda

Malawi

You can put people on ARVs, but without information there are problems. We want people to know about the effect of stopping the medications. We want them to know that they must continue for life.

In Malawi, we don’t have information in our own local languages that people can understand. We have most of the literature in English, and it is a matter of translating it so more people can understand it.

This web presentation is based on a book with photographs by Wolfgang Tillmans. It follows a global meeting held in Cape Town in 2006 organised by the Treatment Action Campaign, South Africa and i-Base, England.
