" "HIV before the year 1996, we had no ARVs in Uganda. People were dying. Among the people who died was my cousin. She was brought to me in Mulago, I was a physician then. She had HIV, and she had severe pneumonia. We gave her all kinds of antibiotics, we gave her amoxicillin, etc. The girl didn’t survive. She passed on. A couple of years later, we discovered through work done in Uganda that this pneumonia the girl had, was due to an organism, now called PJP, and overtime as research was done in Uganda, we found or confirmed that a simple drug like Septrin could have saved my cousin.
