Femina HIP Marks World AIDS Day

Femina HIP joins big event at Biafra Grounds

The Biafra Grounds in Kinondoni, Dar es Salaam, were alive with activity last Tuesday the 1st of December. Various organisations and companies were gathered here to mark World AIDS Day. Femina HIPmarks the day each year, and this year had a joint stand with Champion/Engender Health.

Femina HIP activities included: a Q&A about HIV/AIDS, guidelines on how to start a Fema Club and discussions on how to live positively with HIV/AIDS. Visitors to the stand also had the opportunity to learn more about Femina HIP’s work and were given publications focusing on prevention.

World AIDS Day is recognised internationally, and is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. The theme of World AIDS Day this year was “Universal Access and Human Rights.”

A voice on HIV in relationships

I would like to advise those who chase away their partners after being infected by HIV, because life is helping each other. ENERIETA LEONCE. BUKOBA.

From an out-of-school youth

Why is it when you talk about starting FEMA CLUBS you only talk about secondary school students? What about youth from the streets, don’t they need to start clubs? Ahazi Asoni from Ifwenken.
