While the crusade for drugs and condoms marches on, HOPE for AIDS calls for behaviour change and education. Voluntary testing, counseling, education and equipping is all part of the cure for AIDS.
Update
SIM and the leaders of the Kale Heywet Church (KHC) are partnering to teach the people of Ethiopia how to avoid AIDS themselves, prevent its spread, and also care for those already infected. The program is part of the Medan ("To Save") project.
Facts
National prevalence of HIV infection in Uganda fell from a peak of 15 percent in 1991 to 5 percent as of 2001 (UNAIDS). Prevention is possible! This was due to both good national leadership and the contribution of faith-based organizations.
