Don't give up!

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.
