The fake AIDS cure Ubhejane on sale in a South African pharmacy. Zeblon Gwala, who invented this herbal mixture, says Ubhejane is an effective treatment for HIV that should not be taken at the same time as antiretroviral drugs. Gwala's employees have reportedly promoted the potion as a cure for AIDS, despite having no evidence from rigorous human trials. Scientists who have tested Ubhejane in the laboratory have stressed that they havent demonstrated any benefits to patients.
