Communities urged to use government AIDS programmes

Cosatu, the Treatment Action Campaign and the South African Council of Churches are holding a conference on HIV and Aids today in Limpopo to discuss the province’s response to the pandemic. Cosatu says there is a need to build stronger partnerships between civil society organisations and government to fight the pandemic. The trade union federation says while they acknowledge the good strategies that have been put into place by government, they feel not enough has been done to mobilise communities to take advantage of the government programme. They are especially worried about reports that the number of infections have increased, especially amongst the youth.
