There is not substantial data that AZT stops the transmission of HIV from mother to child. There is too much conflicting data to make concrete policy.

The fact is that some of the mice [tested on with AZT] have contracted cancer. It attacks bone marrow. It is very toxic.

Raw garlic and a skin of the lemon - not only do they give you a beautiful face and skin but they also protect you from disease.

I don't know how many [South Africans] with HIV would want to take anti-retrovirals.

AZT was never meant to treat HIV. It was meant to treat cancer and, when it was discovered to be toxic, the drug companies stopped clinic trials of the drug because it was so toxic. Is this drug really one we want to use?

I think the TAC was just a disgrace, a disgrace not only to the [health] department but a disgrace to the whole country. But I think, as South Africa, we really demonstrated that we are doing pretty well.
