HIV patients in the region around Tanzania have embarked on an HIV awareness campaign aiming to show other patients that life continues even with HIV/AIDS and others that undergoing tests is essential. These efforts are conducted in the USA River region.
USA River is a small town which is located a little bit out of Arusha town. This place is 1400 square meter and has several parts. Some of them are Kijiweni, Jua Kali, and Ngarasero, among others, in Meru district. Three years ago, a study showed that the HIV infection rate in the region was of 18 percent.
In this report, some of the patients explain what their efforts aim at.
