Article-Summary: 

"ARVs can change things, but they do not change my socio-economic status. Yes, I get the ARVs; but I cannot afford to put a simple meal on the table," says a man who insists on being identified only as wa Kimani. "This is why I had to register at two treatment sites, so that I could get ARVs (anti-retroviral drugs) twice: utilise one set from one site, then sell the other batch from the second site, so that I can get something small to put in my stomach."
