TAKING HIV/AIDS LOCAL

[KIMEO]

Dear Group,

I believe it is very essential to have the rural persons educated

on HIV/AIDS. So much has been done at the urban centres leaving

the rural people with very little knowledge on HIV/AIDS apart from

the basics on the same. I am working with an organization that is

researching on HIV/AIDS called CD2BN. It is also clear from the
information collected

that there are still myths and stigma on it.

But with much dissemination of

information the people have been educated about what HIV is, what
AIDS

is, transmission methods, ARTS, importance of VCT, how to form

support groups that have helped provide hope for both for the infected

and affected.



It is also important to help start up economic generating projects now
and you can do

that now and help out here if you can.

In rural areas to ensure self reliance. Unless knowledge and education
is spread

Far and wide and even underground, then HIV is here to stay. Hence
also the

essence of

Taking ICTs to the rural areas to ensure shared information.
