Today is World AIDS Day 2010.
The national annual events to commemorate World AIDS Day in Botswana rotate around the country and this year they are taking place in Palapye (a long way from Gaborone). The theme for this year highlights universal access to care and human rights. Botswana has a lot to celebrate this year. The country has made tremendous progress from the early years of the HIV/ AIDS scourge. However, they have a ways to go in order to achieve their vision of zero new infections by 2016 (which is also their 50th anniversary of independence).
Please check out this article from The Independent. It highlights the Mochudi Prevention Project!
