There is a report in the media how the earthquake in Hela province is damaging the resupply of ARV drugs to HIV and AIDS sufferers. There were 5 Care Centres damaged by the earthquake. As well, the sufferers may be cut off by road to the care centres in the towns.
Some people may have 3 months supply of ARV drugs, But many will have run out of drugs for over a month which will make the HIV virus immune to the first line of drugs. A second line may be necessary in the months to come if the roads become clear.
The same problem exists for refugees over the world. Many will die having been cut off from their drugs and travelling through hostile countries whose governments will refuse to help.
