now. My health is variable and I am certainly not
skiving. Do the relatively healthy workers of the Aids
industry understand just how difficult it is dealing with debilitating
side effects or HIV infections on minimal income? Do not discount what
you have not experienced yourself, that's what I say.

Spread the safer sex message
Re 'Sex
at school' (PN March). The John Andrew Swain Education Unit, based
at Positive Place in south east London, also goes out into the community
to bring HIV awareness and the safer sex message to the youth of London
in schools and colleges. We are always looking for more volunteers. To
obtain further information on becoming a volunteer, contact Positive Place
on 020 8694 9988.

Well done Kenneth Kaunda
Former Zambian president Kenneth Kaunda (World
News, PN May) should be a role model to all African leaders for publicly
taking an HIV test. There is still a lot of ignorance and stigma directed
at HIV positive people and their families. I am Namibian and have suffered
at the hand of prejudice myself, and too little is being done to help
infected people in Africa.
