The National Aids Commission (NAC) and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Program (STDCP) have called on all persons living with HIV/AIDS to stop worrying over the shortage of anti-retro viral (ARV) drugs in the country. The announcement was made at a joint press conference by the two agencies, held in Monrovia, to discuss a need for alleviation of tension due to scarcity of HIV/ARV drugs in health facilities across the country. According to him, NAC and its HIV/AIDS control program regretted the shortage of the drugs in the country and as such, mechanisms have been put in place to mitigate even future challenges. Godoe added that NAC’s leadership intervened and worked hard to get the drugs supplied across the country where people living with HIV go to seek treatment and care. She said the drugs for the critically ill HIV patients are lacking at the Home of Dignity health center and that is posing serious threat to the lives of the patients.
