FOLLOWING the announcement of
the recent national survey of HIV prevalence at higher education institutions
by Higher Education and Training Minister, Dr Blade Nzimande, Walter Sisulu
University saw it fit to be at the forefront of charge.
A student-packed Auditorium at the Nelson Mandela Drive Site saw Walter
Sisulu University’s Institutional Student Representatives (ISRC) and Centre
for HIV/Aids (CHA) collaborate in launching the Graduate Alive Campaign
and HIV Free Friday on July 19.
The launch of these campaigns looks to ‘demystify the HIV pandemic and
make a concerted effort to publicise and implement the importance of HIV
testing’ to staff, students and communities. Also the new initiative,
‘HIV Free Friday’, will have students and staff given T-shirts upon testing.
The T-shirts will carry a positive HIV/Aids message and it hopes to build
on the hype created by the World Cup Football Fridays
