European drug maker Roche has recalled all batches of the drug Viracept because of contamination in the manufacturing process. The drug at contaminated levels could possibly cause cancer. Viracept is not manufactured by Roche in the United States, Canade or Japan. Thousands of HIV+ people throughout Europe are taking Viracept, and it is widely used in Africa. I'm bringing you this information as I do get many European readers that could help spread the word. Also, AID for AIDS has put out out a call asking for donations of any unused Viracept (as well as any other anti-retrovirals) to be sent in so they can distribute it to people that need to replace their contaminated supply. They are also asking for any unused viral medication for hepatitis.
We now return to my rather uneventful life ...
