south africa: Treating Aids saves money, says Aids group

Not treating HIV-positive people was more expensive than buying them medicine, the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) said in Johannesburg on Monday. "That's the thesis that our experts are testing and they are looking at hard figures to support it," TAC secretary Mark Heywood told reporters in Johannesburg. Heywood was speaking ahead of a HIV/Aids congress due to take place in Durban.
