More than 90 people, including children, are believed to have been infected with the HIV virus in Pakistan by a doctor.
Degarelix is a drug that can reduce testosterone to undetectable levels within three days; scientists hope to test its efficacy in chemical castration.
PAKISTAN - At least 90 people, including 65 children, are believed to have been infected with the HIV virus in Pakistan by a doctor using a contaminated syringe, officials said on Friday. "We have arrested a doctor after receiving complaints from the health authorities," said Kamran Nawaz, the local police chief heading the case in the southern city of Larkana.Authorities were first alerted last week after 18 children from a town on the outskirts of the city tested positive for the virus, which causes AIDS, prompting health officials to carry out wider screenings.
