SA Aids deaths report leaked

The lives of 1.7 million South Africans could be saved in the next seven years if the government made anti-Aids drugs universally available immediately, an unpublished government study suggests.

A South African newspaper, the Cape Times, says the report was completed five months ago, but has yet to be officially released and had now been leaked to politicians, trade unions and others by the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), an Aids activist group.

The group has become increasingly confrontational in its campaigning and accuses the South African Government of not acting quickly enough to provide anti-Aids drugs.
