because our president, president mbeki, had begun questioning whether hiv caused aids. it s the misunderstanding about the science of this question. and so, they did not make these drugs available, even though they could now afford to make the drugs available through our public health service. so, the victory was almost nullified and our struggle had to continue. six months later, we were back on the streets, we were protesting, we had to launch a new court case this time against our government over the question of access to drugs that prevent mother to child hiv transmission. the intervention was so simple and so cheap. a single tablet of nevirapine, which costs about 10 rand, can save children from hiv. it was as simple as this, to prevent a new hiv infection and to save a life. and injuly of 2002, the constitutional court ordered the government to supply these medicines to pregnant women who had hiv.

coming on very did you make thi up? it sounds like it, doesn t it ? it s an experiment that in eighth grade science student could figure out is totally meaningless, but no, unfortunately we did not, it s on the website of what nh funds they take male monkeys, they pu them and metal boxes, that s where they re forced to live, they subject them to hormone so-called hormone treatment, an from that they re supposed to learn something about hiv transmission. nevermind that monkeys don t actually contract hiv, they don t actually develop aids, this is a study that could be done with human volunteers and we might actually find somethin else that would help human beings. so there is a lot of money i think i know pete it does not support this, but i think if yo were to pull people they would say if you can prove this is going to save human lives or we get to massive advance of science and technology but so many of these animal experiment
she joins us from them tonight. thanks for coming on. did you make this up? . it sounds like it, doesn t it? it s an experiment that an eighth grade science student could figure out is totally meaningless, but no, unfortunately, we did not. it s right on the website of what nih funds. they take male monkeys, they put them in metal boxes, that s where they are forced to live. they subject them to hormones, so-called hormone treatment, and from that they are supposed to learn something about h.i.v. transmission. now, never mind that monkeys don t actually contract h.i.v. they don t actually develop aids. this is a study that could be done with human volunteers and we might actually find something out that would help human beings. tucker: so there is a lot of money, i mean, i think most, i know peta does not support this but people might say, if you can prove that it would save human lives and get a mass advance in scientific knowledge maybe but some of these animal experiments
