Cosatu, SACC, TAC to fight HIV
Johannesburg - Cosatu, the SA Council of Churches and the Treatment Action Campaign will be joining forces to fight South Africa's HIV/Aids pandemic with a campaign to be launched in December, they said on Wednesday.
The programme would try to break the stigma around HIV and encourage massive voluntary HIV testing.
It would also be aimed at increasing the number of people on antiretroviral (ARV) treatment to at least 20 000 by mid-2006.
At least 85% of South Africans needing ARVs had not received them by mid-2005, according to report released on Monday by the UN and the World Health Organisation.
