Bez Valley Clinic hosts World Aids Day event
“We want to show people ways they can help a friend or loved one who has been diagnosed with HIV.”
Bez Valley Clinic had a World Aids Day event on December 6 with children from Roses of Sharon Daycare who hosted musical plays.
Maria Masala who is in the health sector said the day was filled with joy as people from the area were informed about living with HIV/Aids.
“We want to show people ways they can help a friend or loved one who has been diagnosed with HIV. Some of the help one might need is to be available and open with a conversation about HIV,” said Masala.
Masala said by hosting the event it gave people opportunities to unite in the fight against HIV and bring support for the people living with Aids.
“It’s important for people to understand more about the condition. We aim to teach them how to protect themselves and to be informed as discrimination remains a reality for many people living with the condition. This was an opportunity to unite with people living with HIV/Aids.”
