"HIV Afflicted Boy Rots Away As ARVs Dry Up"
In Sembabule, four years ago a five year old Fred Twinomugisha tested HIV positive. He was deteriorating quickly so he immediately started on anti-retroviral therapy (ART). Twinomugisha's uncle told Sadab Kitatta Kaaya, the interviewer from The Observer in Kampala on November 9, 2011, that he had taken his nephew to many clinics to get the medicine to get the ART, but each time they went to a new one they were sent somewhere else because of the lack of supplies. Twinomugisha couldn't play with his friends because he was too weak and developed sores. He is only one of many people with HIV/AIDS in Africa. In only the Sub-Saharan Africa, 22.5 million people are infected with the disease: that is two-thirds of the global number.
