Campaign highlights patients’ right: “Be Healthy — Know your viral load”
Science Speaks - “On 30 October 2015 a new campaign calls on African governments to make viral load tests routinely available to all citizens living with HIV.
A month ahead of World AIDS Day 2015, the campaign ‘Be Healthy – Know your viral load’ is coordinated by the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition (ITPC), Aids Rights Alliance for Southern Africa (ARASA) and 11 national partners from across Africa: Botswana, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Malawi, Morocco, Swaziland, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. (...)
The campaign includes a video aimed at policy makers, illustrating the importance of viral load testing through the stories of London Chuma, a Zambian man tested after his health deteriorated, and Doreen Nasaala, of Kampala, Uganda, born more than two decades ago with HIV, and still waiting for a viral load test."
