Marwaan Macan-Markar

BANGKOK, Jul 17 2006 (IPS) – For Thais living with HIV, the country s heat and humidity have been one more enemy because the life-extending drugs they need are temperature sensitive and need to be stored in refrigerators.
So news of an anti-AIDS drug that retains potency when kept under the normal tropical climatic conditions of around 30 degrees Celsius was a welcome development for those who are on second-line medication.

Yet, till now, Thais who desperately need this medicine have little access to it. The reason, says the global humanitarian agency Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF or Doctors Without Borders), is because of a hurdle placed by the sole manufacturer of Iopinavir/ ritonavir, the United States-based pharmaceutical giant Abbott Laborato…
