You may not be aware of it, but the biggest AIDS conference on the African continent is currently taking place in Cape Town [find information on the 17th International Conference on AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA) event here].
An important message to the person finding out they are infected is that a healthy, continued life is possible (DON'T GIVE UP!) Studies point to the importance of nutrition, basic food safety, adequate sleep and a positive attitude. And ARV medication has made a huge difference in the lives of millions.
HIV and AIDS is a chapter in The Agri Handbook. HIV and AIDS is everyone's business and farmers may not know where to turn if one of their workers becomes infected. Find the chapter here.
Find the latest statistics and news of progress against HIV and AIDS at http://www.unaids.org.
This was the initial blog of The Agri Handbook, South Africa's biennial reference book for the agri-food industry where you will find points of reference for all subsectors which make up the agricultural value chain. Whether you are a new farmer looking at your options or an old hand wanting to diversify your operations but wondering where to start, you will find value here. Visitors are invited to also look at https://agribook.co.za/ where the latest chapters may be read.
