SWAZIS WARNED AGAINST “AIDS DRUG”

Swaziland National Aids Programme officials are warning people infected with the HIV/Aids virus against buying any product advertised locally for the treatment of the disease. Aids sufferers have apparently flocking to a dealer in Manzini, following an advertisement about a drug named colloidal silver. Enquiries made by the Swaziland Aids counselling office found that medical experts had never heard of the drug.
