Indian HIV patients unite to battle fake AIDS cures

[muthu kumar]

MUMBAI (Reuters) - A network of HIV-positive people in India has
launched a national campaign against thousands of illegal backstreet
clinics and quacks who cheat patients with the promise of curing
AIDS.
Patients often end up going to quacks and witch doctors who use fake
herbal, *homeopathic* and drug treatments because the government
health system is widely seen as offering poor treatment while private
care is costly.
