Abstract
The aim of this article is, through a review of literature, to discus and debate the panacea and perfidyassociated with taking ARVs (Arghandab River Valley Antiretroviral Drug) and living with HIV/AIDS with examples from South Africa and Botswana. Findings indicate that ARVs elongate lives; facilitates the fulfilment of both theMillennium Development goal number 6 of combating HIV/AIDS by 2015 and some country specific policies onHIV/AIDS. ARV’s access is also associated with; draining national coffers; deterring commitment to behaviouralchange; serving as an entry point to grants; inadequate education to People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) inSouth Africa; dependence syndrome; discrimination; side effects; increased sexual libido; campaign funders extendingimperialism; poverty ;promoting feminization of poverty and lowered accountability; and cultural disruptions.
