EPISODE 2 - VCT

In South Africa we have a policy of voluntary counselling and testing. Its important to test regularly. Many people only test when they are sick. Their immune system is already weak, making it harder for ARVs to work effectively. In the past when treatment was not available, people had little reason to test. But now ARVs can make HIV a manageable condition, like high blood pressure or diabetes. You need never get sick from HIV if you test and start ARVs at the right time. Doctors are recommending earlier starting times for ARVs. The message is get, tested, get treated and have a full life! Busi and Zolani speak to callers and discuss different issues relating to the episode's topic. |
