Voluntary HIV Testing: Bravo MTN Rwanda

Today the world celebrates World Aids Day. The theme this year centres around voluntary counseling and testing, with the United Nations launching the World Aids Campaign of promoting Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) to reduce new HIV infections. This campaign will take place during the months of November and December. Kudos to MTN Rwanda for leading us in this campaign. It takes great leadership courage to do what MTN Rwanda employees did last Friday- they volunteered for HIV testing. Addressing the press Dr. Anita Asimwe, Executive Secretary of the National Aids Control Commission, had a message of hope that the virus was containable if people knew their status.
