I cannot find this is any translation anywhere.

The closest I can come in all the Creole Dictionaries is VOYE which means :
broadcast, cast, ejaculate, send, sling, throw.

I'm wondering if the W on the end is a different tense of this and he base word would be the same?

Thanks Midget...that helped me find the following which ends up supporting and being a take on your post:

"Nan etid sa a, yo p ap dirèkteman bay Trètman Antiretwoviral (ARV), medikaman ki sèvi pou trete enfeksyon VIH, men si kaw nesesitel epi sil disponib, y ap [VOYEW] kote ki bay medikaman sa yo, esè klinik ARV yo, ak lòt mwayen ki ka genyen pou jwenn ARV."

"In this study, they will not administer antiretroviral treatment (ARV), the medicine used to treat HIV infection, directly, but if your condition requires it and if it is available, [THEY WILL SEND YOU] to where these medicines are administered, to ARV clinical trials, and whatever other sources that there may be to obtain ARV."

The following link highlights words in the Creole portion and then again in the English translation. The word ends up meaning: "They will send you."
