Voluntary Counselling and testing (VCT) and support from
families play an integral part in prolonging the life of an HIV/AIDS patient.
LCCI Peer Education instructor Meredith Tutumang says that support from families is
vital to prolong the patient’s life.
She urged families to have a more positive approach to such
people as this would contribute greatly to reducing discrimination. This makes
the person feel appreciated and gives them the courage to become active
advocates in the fight against the disease.
Comment: So the wheel has turned full circle. For over a decade FAMILY was a dirty word in the National HIV/AIDS response at the hands of the UN lesbian activists. Now the Positive Living focus across the nation and Pacific is on the strength of family.
