People Living with HIV/AIDS are raising concerns after receiving antiretroviral medicines that had allegedly expired before they were dispensed by health facilities.

Ms Barbara Kemigisa, an HIV activist and mother living with HIV, said she first discovered the problem at the end of May after members of her peer support network collected her ARV refills from Hoima Regional Referral Hospital and one of the bottles they brought back had already expired.

Ms Kemigisa initially dismissed the incident as an isolated error but she became concerned after another member of her network like others elsewhere, who collected her medicines on July 2, reported receiving a similar bottle.
