“More action is needed. There are still people who don't know their status. Testing should be compulsory and each and every household must get tested.”
Nonhlanhla Baleka:
“Yes, people are being educated and there are a number of community-based organisations which are helping. After getting tested you are also not alone as there is support for others to get tested.”
