Lebanon In Reality Now Officially Greater Syria!

Hizbullah has government weapon approval Stub

Turkey, Syria, and Iran are now a good buddy Club

Everyone else in the Middle East is having a bad Day

And it looks like things are going to continue that Way

Until Christ comes on stage to pull a curtain on this Play

The stage is now being set to the north of Israel in Lebanon and Syria for the final conflict of this age, which will see Israel driven into the Negev, where she will remain for some three and one-half years until the final battle of Armageddon. The scenario in Israel, following the final great battle of Armageddon, is prophesied in Ezekiel 39:8-16.

Ezekiel 39:8-16 – Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord God; this is the day whereof I have spoken. [9] And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years: [10] So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord God. [11] And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamon-gog. [12] And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land. [13] Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God. [14] And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search. [15] And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog. [16] And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.

Verse 8 informs us that the day of the Lord is done. The events daily appearing in the Middle East are presently leading us to that great day of the Lord. Finally, it will be over - God’s wrath will have passed - and a remnant of Jews still in physical flesh will dig themselves out of the ashes of the Great Tribulation Period. They will begin to build a new millennial world with their Messiah, Jesus Christ, as their King.

Verse 9 pictures these Jews gathering the war weapons of Armageddon and smelting them with fire into weapons of agriculture and commerce. It will be seven years before the metals have all been recycled into materials to be used by a nation in peaceful pursuits.

Verse 10 advises us that wood will not be used to provide the fire necessary for smelting the metal in the weapons of war. They will take the oil of the Arab nations that spoiled them in the Tribulation Period. They will use their oil to produce the fire that fires the metal into useful peacetime products.

Verse 11 describes the massive cleanup of the millions of corpses from the Battle of Armageddon that still clutter the hills of Galilee, Samaria, and Judea. They will bury them in a valley they will name “the valley of Hamon-gog.” Hamon-gog means “multitude of Gog,” and Gog is the Antichrist, so this valley can be referred to as “the graveyard of the Antichrist.” The exact location is unknown. We are merely told it will be to the east of the Dead Sea. You will not find directions listed as being anything other than north, east, west, and south in the Old Testament. Any direction from NE to SE was referred to as east, SE to SW as south, SW to NW as west, and NW to NE as north. So this burial zone could be anywhere from northeast to southeast of the Dead Sea. I rather suspect it will be to the southeast of the Dead Sea near Petra.

Verse 12 gives the length of time required to cover and bury the countless numbers of exposed bodies - seven months. However, many bodies will be buried under massive landslides associated with earthquake activity, and it will be necessary to continue to search for bodies for a much longer period of time.

Verse 13 tells us that all the Israelites will take their turn during the seven-month period of massive burials. It may be that each Israelite will be required to do one months service during the period. By the end of the seven-month period they will have buried most of the bodies.

Verse 14 advises us the compulsory graveyard service of all the Israelites will end after seven months, but that a new system will be instituted to continue the search as long as is required. It may work something like this: the nation of Israel will take some of its men, employed in other aspects of continuous nation rebuilding, and divert them to a full-time job of overseeing and performing the removal of the remaining bodies from the land. These full-time body disposers will work together with other Israelites (passengers) that travel routinely through the land.

Verse 15 describes how the full-time grave providers and passengers will work together toward a common goal. After seven months only skeletons will remain, so when a traveler happens across a skeleton, in his normal daily pursuits, he will stick up a clearly visible marker by it. When the full-time grave providers see the marker, they will carry the bones to the Antichrist’s graveyard for burial.

Verse 16 informs us there will be so many grave provider personnel that a city named Hamonah will spring up by the Antichrist’s graveyard. Since the name Hamonah means “multitude,” it is only natural to assume the city is named in memory of its permanent residents.

Lebanese Gov’t Approves Weapons in Hizbullah Hands

5 Av 5768, 06 August 08 05:15

by Nissan Ratzlav-Katz

(IsraelNN.com) Despite a clear UN resolution and a 19-year-old national agreement calling for the disarmament of all non-governmental militias, Lebanon’s cabinet voted Monday to allow the Hizbullah terrorist organization to keep its weapons arsenal. The government decision specifically approves Hizbullah activities aimed at Israel.

Four ministers from Christian-majority parties represented in the government expressed “reservations” over the “resistance against Israel” clause, but Lebanese Information Minister Tareq Mitri said that “the document was approved unanimously.”

According to Mitri, the government approved “the right of Lebanon, its people, its army and the resistance to liberate its land in the Shebaa Farms, Kfarshuba Hill and Ghajar,” which are located on Israel’s northern border with Lebanon. In an apparent contradiction with state recognition and approval accorded “the resistance” - a euphemism for Hizbullah - the statement declared that “the unity and the authority of the state would be the guiding principle of all government decisions and actions.”

The Lebanese parliament must now approve the manifesto with a vote of confidence, which will allow the government to officially commence its administration. The new government was formed on July 11, following a violent insurrection in May by Hizbullah and other Shiite militias that forced the majority bloc to accept a Hizbullah veto over government decisions.

Manifesto Contradicts Lebanese, UN Obligations

The terms of the Lebanese government’s policy statement allowing Hizbullah to retain its arsenal contradicts United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701. The UN-brokered ceasefire agreement ending the 2006 Second Lebanon War, embodied in Resolution 1701, called for the disarming of all non-governmental entities in Lebanon. More than two years later, that condition has yet to be fulfilled and the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) has stated outright that it would not enforce it.

The closest UNIFIL has come to confronting Hizbullah, as reported by the Lebanon-based Al-Akhbar newspaper, has been to issue “secret orders” to use “all means” to prevent Hizbullah forces from approaching Israeli pilots who may be shot down in Lebanon.

In addition to Resolution 1701, the Lebanese government manifesto violates the terms of the 1989 Taef Agreement, which was meant to be a “national reconciliation accord” ending a Lebanese civil war that had been raging for decades. According to the agreement, the State of Lebanon was to exercise authority “over all Lebanese territories gradually, with the state’s own forces.”

To that end, the Taef document calls for the “disbanding of all Lebanese and non-Lebanese militias…. The militias’ weapons shall be delivered to the State of Lebanon within a period of 6 months, beginning with the approval of the national accord charter.”

Israel Flees to the Negev on the point of a Spear

The More Israel Invests In Negev Wilderness Drear

The Better Off She’ll be Later for Some 3 and ½ Years

In a place God has prepared for a people he holds Dear

From Which He’ll then Rescue them into a Land of no Fear

For a thousand years of great bliss without shedding a Tear

Cause Abraham believed in God’s promise of Isaac he did Hear

For the Seed Promised Through Jacob Has an Advent That’s Near

August 7, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

Revelation 12:5,6 – And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne. [6] And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

The man child was the seed of Abraham through the blood line of Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and David, God’s only begotten Son, Christ Jesus. He will return at his Second Advent at Armageddon to deliver Israel after her 1260 days in the Negev.

Zechariah 13:8,9 – And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.

This is the Land Grant He promised to Jacob (Israel) through Abraham and Isaac.

Genesis 15:18 –In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

This is when Isaac repeated the promise of Abraham’s Land Grant to Jacob (Israel) himself.

Genesis 28:2-4 – Arise, go to Padan-aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother’s father; and take thee a wife from thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother’s brother. [3] And God Almighty bless thee, and make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people; [4] And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham.

This when God himself repeated the promise of Abraham’s Land Grant to Jacob in verses 13 and 14, as well as the promise of a Savior to all men in the person of the Seed, Jesus Christ.

Genesis 28:10-14 – And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. [11] And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. [12] And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. [13] And, behold, the Lord stood above it, and said, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; [14] And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

This is when Christ, the Messiah of Israel, will defeat all the enemies of Israel at Armageddon on the occasion of his Second Advent, and Israel will then charge north, west, and east out of the Negev to claim the Land Grant given to their forefather Abraham. The land will extend west to the River of Egypt, north to Hamath in Syria, east to the long Euphrates River, and south to Kadesh Barnea, as indicated in Genesis 15:17, and Ezekiel 47:17 & 19.

Micah 5:5,6 – And this man shall be the peace, when the Assyrian shall come into our land: and when he shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise against him seven shepherds, and eight principal men. [6] And they shall waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in the entrances thereof: thus shall he deliver us from the Assyrian, when he cometh into our land, and when he treadeth within our borders. (Please See Whole Numbered Archive Prophecy Update Numbers 62 to 69)

Ezekiel 47:17 – And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.

Ezekiel 47:19 – And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.

Zechariah 14:8,9 – And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [9] And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Negev to get alternative-energy center

August 5, 2008

Sharon Wrobel , THE JERUSALEM POST

The socioeconomic cabinet on Monday approved a plan by the Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry to establish a technology center for the research and development of renewable energy in the Negev at an investment of NIS 70 million.

“The program will enable Israel to become a major player in the global renewable-energy industry,” Industry, Trade and Labor Minister Eli Yishai said.

Under the terms of the program, developed in cooperation with the Finance, Environmental Protection and Infrastructures ministries, the R&D center will be set up in the Negev under the auspices of the Chief Scientist’s Office at an investment of NIS 70m. over a period of five years. The research center will focus on the development of renewable- and alternative-energy sources for the production of electricity, such as solar and wind energy.

The program is based on a research study by the Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry and the Environment Protection Ministry identifying the areas within the environment-technology sector that have the potential of boosting Israeli exports.

Boaz Hirsch, director of the Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry’s foreign trade administration, said Israeli exports generated from renewable-energy technology were $110 million in 2007. Under the framework of the interministerial, five-year target plan, renewable-energy exports are foreseen to grow to $1 billion a year within 10 years. In addition, R&D investment is expected to increase to $350m. during the 2008-2012 period of the program.

Separately, Yishai signed an agreement on Sunday with Ben-Gurion University of the Negev for the establishment of a national biotechnology center in Beersheba.

“The establishment of the national biotechnology center in the Negev, next to the hi-tech park operated in cooperation with the Ben-Gurion University, is a significant step in the government’s plan for the development of the Negev and in attracting investment into technology as a way of stimulating economic growth in the area,” Yishai said.

Avi Feldman, director of the ministry’s Negev development and employment center, said the center’s activities would focus on the development of innovative technologies, in cooperation with academia and other research centers in Israel and around the world. More than 75 percent of the researchers and workers of the center will be Negev residents, he said. “Heading this project is an attempt by the ministry to create a bridge between academic research and industrial R&D, and thereby encourage an exchange of information between academia and industry,” Industry, Trade and Labor Ministry director-general Gavriel Maimon said.

Revlation 17:3,12-18 – So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. [12] And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. [14] These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [16] And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

Revelation 19:19-21 – And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. [21] And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

Begin DEBKAfile Excerpt

Ankara played key role in validating Damascus-Tehran pact and marketing a nuclear Iran

DEBKAfile Exclusive Report and Analysis

August 5, 2008, 6:46 PM (GMT+02:00)

The intense exchanges afoot between Ankara, Damascus and Tehran in recent months burst into the open Tuesday, Aug.5 at the south Turkish Aegean resort town of Bodrum, when Turkish prime minister Tayyip Erdogan entertained Syrian president Bashar Assad and a large party of notables. This is revealed by DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources.

Assad came fresh from his triumphant talks in Tehran three days earlier. The two leaders’ Aegean lunch was followed on cue by Tehran’s announcement that Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad would visit Ankara for talks with president Abdullah Gul on August 14.

Screened by his role as broker of indirect Syrian-Israeli peace talks, Erdogan had been busy raising the Syrian president’s credentials from international pariah to respected regional player and partner in the secret dialogue between the United States and Iran.

This was not a solo venture into backdoor diplomacy. The Turkish prime minister was quietly cheered on by US president George W. Bush and secretary of state Condoleezza Rice. French president Nicolas Sarkozy and Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert were also in on the ploy.

Sarkozy put the plan to them both in mid-June when they visited Paris. He asked Assad to mediate between Iran and the West on the nuclear impasse, a role which Assad was happy to accept. He made a point of snubbing the Israeli prime minister to show how far he had gone up in the world. Olmert went along with his part of the plan, indirect peace talks with Damascus, heedless of warnings from his intelligence advisers that he was being set up to serve Iranian and Syrian interests at Israel’s expense.

Assad may be sitting pretty internationally but his regime at home is far from steady, DEBKAfile’s Middle East sources report. The large party he brought to Turkey was led by foreign minister Walid Mualem, the leading proponent of a pro-Washington foreign policy, and its fiercest opponent Buthaina Shaaban, who is especially resentful of any sort of dialogue with Israel.

That sharp division in Assad’s immediate circle has not been bridged.

Assad’s affectionate talks in Tehran Saturday were clouded by the assassination earlier in the day of a most trusted aide, Brig. Gen. Muhammad Suleiman, his key liaison agent with Tehran, Pyongyang and Hizballah. There are signs in Damascus pointing to Suleiman having fallen victim to internal rivalries in the Assad regime, which would show his murder up as another symptom of a storm brewing up in Damascus.

The three lead players in this emerging scenario are now poised on a threshold with a number of options:

1. The Erdogan-Assad talks may end without agreement on the next moves.

2. Assad may have brought with him Tehran’s reply to the six-power incentives offer for suspending uranium enrichment, delivered three days late. Thus, instead of addressing its reply to the European Union foreign affairs executive Javier Solana, spokesman for the US, EU, UK, France, Russian, China and Germany, Iran would be relaying it through Assad to strengthen his position.

3. The next round of the trilateral discussions begun by Assad at Bordum will take place during Ahmadinejad’s visit to Ankara.

4. Assad will brief Erdogan on the next steps planned on the Syrian-Israeli track following the go-ahead he received in Tehran from Iranian leaders.

5. Assad’s large entourage in Turkey may signal a surprise development.

The Preparation Game Is Underway!

The Question now is how long it Lasts

This time Islam wants to be very Certain

The war will not end as in previous Battles

Their key plan now is to get ready Internally

While They Engage Their Foes with Diplomacy

How Long They Will Prepare Before They Attack

I’ve Long Been Guessing Between 2010 & 2015!

August 6, 2008

http://www.tribulationperiod.com/

The name of the game now for those Islamic nations, involved in closed door discussions and planning for the destruction of Israel, is now under way. We are seeing internal strengthening in Syria, Iran, Lebanon, and the Gaza Strip in preparation for an eventual assault on Israel. I am of the opinion they could be ready for the assault at a point in time lying between 2010 and 2015. After failures in 1948, 1967, and 1973, this time they want to be sure the victory they have long sought will be theirs, so preparation is the main object on their minds at the present time.

They do not want war at the present time because they know they will not be able to defeat Israel. So they are talking peace to Israel and the international community while preparing for war. Truces, prisoner exchanges, indirect peace talks, and diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy, are all part of their plan to enjoy little disruption to their preparation game.

The Islamic nations know full well that allied ships will be prowling the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Persian Gulf. They are hopeful their ability to launch weapons at them, such as described in this article, will be an incentive to stay out of Islam’s fight with Israel, thinking the Israelis can win it without their help, and by the time they realize Israel cannot, it will be too late for them to do anything.

Iran tests new anti-ship missile

4 Aug 2008, 1904 hrs IST,PTI

TEHRAN: Iran has testfired new powerful anti-ship missile capable to hit targets at the range of 300 kilometres, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Mohammad Ali Jaafari said on Monday.

Iran has tested new weapons which will spare no enemy ship as it can sink within the range of 300 kilometres from the Iranian borders, he said.

This is absolutely new technology; it had developed with homegrown technology so far unused by any other country, Jaafari said.

The IRGC Air Force and Navy held large-scale exercises in July and test launchings of different missiles that also included Shahab-3 which has a range of more than 2,000 kilometres.

The missiles are also capable to hit targets at US military bases in the Middle East and also on the territory of Israel. The tests were held amidst more emphatic statements by Iranian representatives addressed to the West and escalation of tension on the Iranian nuclear programme.

Earlier in summer the Iranian military had repeatedly warned that Teheran might limit navigation in the Persian Gulf in the event of hypothetical aggression against Iran and threats to its interests and security.

According to the IRGC C-in-C, fast ships of the IRGC Navy that employ the tactics which takes into account the enemy’s vulnerable spots and the recent achievements made by Iranian experts are capable to sink any aggressor in the waters of the Persian Gulf.

Romans 1:26-28 – For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: [27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. [28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Ephesians 4:17-19,30-32 – This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, [18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: [19] Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. [30] And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. [31] Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: [32] And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

In the late Seventies I included HIV in my lecture series as one of the three phenomena listed as marking “the beginning of sorrows,” which was to precede the Tribulation Period. It was to continue an indefinite period of time and continue into the Tribulation Period. I was teaching biology and earth sciences in the secular school system at that time and, as a scientist and theologian I predicted they would not find a cure for it before the Second Advent. The biblical word “loimos,” translated as “pestilence” in Christ’s Olivet Discourse, literally means “any deadly infectious disorder.” Since the character of the three phenomena listed in the Olivet Discourse were to follow the characteristics of the biblical word “odin,” translated as “sorrows,” and since “odin” means the pain associated with a woman’s birth pangs, which continues until the baby is born, I told audiences that they would not find a cure for HIV before the Second Advent of Christ, and the virus would continue until that time. It appears my application of the two words to conclude the HIV virus would continue, and that a cure would not be found until the 2nd Advent, was correct.

Progress but end of AIDS ‘not in sight’

Tamar Kahn

Science and Health Editor

August 5, 2009

MEXICO CITY — The 17th World AIDS conference opened this week , with global leaders warning against complacency and urging the world to do more to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.

“For the first time, fewer people are dying of AIDS and fewer people are becoming infected with HIV … (but) the end of AIDS is nowhere in sight,” the executive director of the United Nations joint programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Peter Piot, said at a press conference .

For every person who started treatment, almost three more became infected, he said.

And although the world had made tremendous strides in getting treatment to HIV-positive people — 3- million of them in the developing world — twice as many people were still unable to get life-saving medication .

About 33-million people were living with HIV last year , 2.7-million became newly infected and 2-million died, according to UNAIDS.

Piot’s call for fresh energy in preventing new HIV infections was echoed by former Botswana president Festus Mogae, who urged African leaders in particular to devise new ways to combat the disease.

“Substantial progress has been made on treatment, but the (prevention) message isn’t getting through despite our best efforts,” he said. Sub-Saharan Africa is home to 22-million HIV-positive people, two-thirds of the global total.

The week-long conference is being held in Latin America for the first time in a bid to draw attention to regional issues such as how to prevent HIV/AIDS spreading among men who have sex with men — a taboo subject in many conservative communities in the region.

SA, with the world’s biggest HIV-positive population — 5,7-million people according to the latest estimates from the UN — and large HIV/AIDS research community, also features prominently on the programme.

SA’s Deputy Social Development Minister Jean Swanson-Jacobs expressed concern over the financial cost of providing life-long treatment to the growing number of HIV-positive patients in SA. By June, 510000 patients had been enrolled in the government’s treatment programme, making it the largest in the world.

“We are anxious about the affordability of this programme — we need cheaper drugs, cheaper diagnostic tools, but most importantly we need to make HIV prevention effective.” The cost of treatment was a global concern, she said.

More than 90% of the patients receiving antiretroviral therapy at state clinics and hospitals were on relatively cheap first-line regimens, but in time many of them would need to switch to more expensive second-line therapy, the health department’s HIV/AIDS head, Nomonde Xundu, said.

Earlier in the day, Cape Town scientist Andrew Boule presented a study at a satellite session that highlighted drawbacks in using nevirapine for HIV-positive patients who were also infected with tuberculosis.

Patients who were co-infected with HIV and TB fared better if their cocktail of HIV drugs included efavirenz instead of nevirapine as they were better able to suppress the virus and had fewer side effects than those receiving a nevirapine-based combination.

While the study, published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association , does not have immediate implications for SA, which already provides efavirenz to patients infected with TB and HIV, it raises difficult questions for most other sub-Saharan African countries since they provide co-infected patients with three-in-one pills containing nevirapine.
