1615 to 1645hrs
Dr Stanford Mashaire, HIV/AIDS Program Manager with the Harare City Health Department a medical doctor who specialise in HIV/AIDS issues is talking about HIV/AIDS testing and information in relation to ARVs. His main advise is take the tests early so that you start ARV treatment when your immune system is not yet severly damaged. Issues he discussed relate to ARVs, counselling (pre and post testing). Positive living and medical attention works when you know your status. Positive living information, nutritious foods, planning for the future all that is available from trained counsillors and HIV/AIDS once you are tested. If you know your status early, you will even know about planning on children etc
He talked about the clinics the City operate which includes two OI Hospitals and 57 polyclinics. The two OIs are a gateway to ARVs. He aslo talked about the WHO staging, CD4 counts and the various ARVs available.
Dr Stanford Mashaire's Message to Zimbabwe
DON'T GET INFECTED BUT IF YOU DO, DO NOT HIDE IT, GO AND GET TESTED, GET ALL THE HELP THAT YOU NEED. PREVENTION THOUGH IS THE MAIN SOLUTION.
INITIATE SEXUAL ACTIVITY AT A DELAYED STAGE.
