  • World Aids Day '08: Encouragement to test

    Posted: November 30, 2008, 1:10 am by ombui
    It is the 20th commemoration of the World Aids Day, a day when individuals,
    organisations and governments, revisit and re-echo the fight against the
    disease.

    This day dawns, as the Kenyan government say that 80 percent of its
    population is not tested, and more than a million infected Kenyans are
    unaware that they HIV-positive.

    But how is Kenya and the world to ensure that its citizens test
    undiscriminatively to curb the disease?

    Universal testing for HIV/AIDS seem a better decision, but legal, or ethical
    battles are unconsidered so far.

    Last year, this blog called for prosecution of swindlers of HIV/AIDS
    funding. To date, the prosecutions in East African region are still slow and
    unconclusive.

    We also think of the one of the heroes, Philly Bongole Lutaya, the first
    Ugandan and African musician to declare he was infected with HIV/AIDS. His
    action not only encouraged many Ugandans to run for the test, but also
    gave/still give hope to the infected and affected.

    A step to test today, is an encouragement to others, for the better of us
    all.
