Disabled Official Makes Plea On HIV/AIDS

Nkganetsang said it is regrettable that people with disabilities are forgotten when HIV/AIDS policies and programmes are formulated. "Somehow when people come up with strategies for fighting AIDS, we are not taken on board. It is like people think that we do not have those dreams and aspirations of starting our own families and it is like people believe that we have nothing to do with sexuality and reproduction," Nkganetsang lamented.  

He said that more attention should be focused on people with disabilities because they are more vulnerable to HIV/AIDS. He noted that people with different disabilities needed various programmes to cater for their special needs.
