Monageng, 72 walks to raise HIV/AIDS awareness

In an interview with Mmegi, Thusang Bana Centre programme officer, Lebogang Sekaname said Monageng would start his walk in different villages and towns next month. She explained that the walk is also aimed to demonstrate to society that people living with HIV can engage in activities that ‘normal’ people do.

“After every walk, Monageng and his team teach the communities about HIV. He will share his story. He will tell them about his life since taking ARVs and how the medication changed his life for the better. On another note,  our health educators will also be teaching the gatherings about the Treat-All programme. It is important for people tested positive to start ARV treatment so that their viral load can be suppressed,” she said.
