  Swaziland: HIV patients "eat dung to make drugs work"

  Some HIV-positive patients in Swaziland are so poor they have resorted to eating cow dung before taking anti-retroviral drugs, Aids activists say.

  The drugs do not work on an empty stomach, so patients have to use the dung - mixed with water - instead of food, the activists say.

  Several hundred people protested in the capital, Mbabane, on Wednesday against the economic crisis in the kingdom.

  King Mswati III's government has admitted it is running out of cash.

  It has asked neighbouring South Africa for a bailout.

  Protest organiser Sipho Dlamini said that growing hunger was forcing HIV/Aids patients to eat cow dung.

  "Some people are now saying they are going to stop taking anti-retroviral drugs because it [requires] that they have food in their stomachs." he said.

  Swaziland, with a population of about 1.2 million, has one of the highest HIV/Aids rates in the world.

  About 230,000 people are HIV-positive, of whom 65,000 get free drugs from government hospitals.

  Mr Dlamini said the protesters urged the government not to cut health spending.

  "We want the government to stick to its word and to prioritise health." he said.

  Last month, MP Joseph Madonsela said state hospitals would run out of anti-retroviral drugs within two months.

  This was denied by the government.

  But it admitted that it had asked South Africa for a financial bailout and had introduced austerity measures to curb expenditure.

  The king has an estimated personal wealth of $200m (£122m) and each of his 13 wives has a palace paid for by the state, correspondents say.

  

  据英国广播公司7月27日报道:艾滋病宣传员在斯威士兰发现,有些感染阳性艾滋病毒的病人们因太贫穷而不得不在吃药之前先吃奶牛的粪便填饱肚子。

  宣传员们说,由于空腹吃药不能生效,这些病人们不得不把和着水的粪便当做食物。

  

  周三,在姆巴巴纳(斯威士兰首都城市)几百人上街抗议,因为本国正在历经一场经济危机。

  

  姆斯瓦蒂三世国王政府也已承认财政赤字。

  该国已向邻国南非发出紧急求助。

  

  抗议的组织者斯福•米尼说,严重的饥荒迫使艾滋病人们不得不吃奶牛的粪便来填饱肚子。

  

  “有些病人说由于吃药之前不能空腹,以至于他们想放弃吃药。”他说。

  

  斯威士兰是个拥有120万人口的国家,也是世界上艾滋病感染率最高的国家之一。

  约23万人感染了阳性艾滋病病毒,其中有6.5万人能从政府所设医院免费领取药物。

  米尼说,抗议者们就是想敦促政府不能削减医疗费用。

   “我们希望政府能坚守承诺,优先考虑医疗问题。”他说。

   就在上个月,该国国会议员约瑟夫•曼多尼拉说国立医院对抗艾滋病药物将在2个月内用完。

  

  但政府否认这个说法。

  但该政府承认向南非发出了经济求助计划,而且还采取了节俭措施缩减开支。

  

  但据知情者估计,该国国王拥有2亿美元的个人资产,他的13个妻子分别有一座国家出资所建的宫殿。
