Report on orphans’ HIV/AIDS status
Vitumbiko, our representative in Malawi, reports from the orphanage:
I am glad to report that 50 children have so far been tested and none of them
have been found to be positive. The workers were also tested and one worker was
found to be positive, unfortunately he left the project. The rest of the
children too will be tested. The idea was to know their health status so that
we know with precision what medication to give to children in case they are
sick. In addition we wanted to enroll all the children that could have been
found positive on Antiretroviral Treatment which is free in the country at the
moment.
