Tsepong: a Clinic Called Hope
Lesotho, in southern Africa: more than one-third of all adults are HIV positive. A small group of Canadian health care workers have traveled to Lesotho, helping set up one of the country’s first HIV/AIDS clinics and distributing life-saving antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). But the program is in danger of being a victim of its own success. There are just too many people desperate to get too few drugs. Failure, though, is not an option. If the antiretroviral drug pilot project collapses, an ARV resistant strain of HIV/AIDS may develop, spreading across the continent and eventually into the West. Lesotho is not just a remote nation; it is the front-line of a global battle with millions of human lives at stake.
