I was in a matatu the other day and besides the loud head thumping music was this huge sticker saying " HATA NIKIPIMWA, HAKUNA DAWA". (EVEN IF I GET TESTED,THERE IS NO CURE/MEDICINE) I asked myself how many people get to see this sticker day in day out and what goes through their heads when they see this kind of a message. Because of the nature of the Matatu I was sure that most of the passengers are young men and women. So day in day out we have young women and men being encouraged not to bother getting tested because there is no cure for HIV/AIDS.

GLOBAL: Male circumcision does not protect women

JOHANNESBURG, 17 July (IRIN) - New research suggests that circumcising HIV-positive men does not reduce the risk of their female partners becoming HIV-infected.
 
 The findings, reported on 17 July in the British medical journal, The Lancet, emerged from a clinical trial in Rakai District, southern Uganda, involving 922 HIV-infected men and 163 of their HIV-negative female partners.
