More details from petition creator
At present, particularly in Asia and Africa, the HIV problem is exacerbated by the fact that doses of HIV medication is only suitable for adults. As a result, medical staff are using the naked eye to judge the amount suitable for children. Such a simple campaign will make a lot of difference, to what is becoming a truly mammoth problem. We at the India Development Trust, a UK based charity, are campaigning for a more effective use of medicine available to combat HIV/AIDS.
