Some HIV-positive Zimbabweans fending off AIDS with the help of
antiretroviral drugs say they have started to receive pharmaceuticals
whose expiration date has passed, and express concern that such drugs
may undermine their struggle to survive.
Justice Mapfumo of Bulawayo said he and others in the government
program in which he is enrolled have been receiving expired
antiretrovirals since last month.
