Though estimates given by the KWS HIV/AIDS office are scaring and yet the campaign against this scourge seems to have begun in earnest, and the rapid test results on the same, are smile-drawing, to say the least!

According to a concerned Salome Kangethe, the HIV/AIDS Coordinator, “while statistics on HIV/AIDS related deaths in our work place has been an issue of great concern, we at the HIV/AIDS office and more so the Human Resource Department, are optimistic that in as far as this campaign is on-going, we can see some light at the end of the tunnel.

Kangethe’s optimism, she categorically states, is not curved on fiction but on facts.

“We have been able as an organization to draw the funding of Centre for Disease Control (C.D.C) and Family Health International (FHI) among other donors. And with their generous funding, KWS has gone ahead to facilitate two seminars and two workshops all geared towards the campaign against HIV/AIDS.”

“Soon, our strategy in winning the campaign on HIV/AIDS will be launched and from that point henceforth a concert of tactics and maneuvers will be put in place to ensure that KWS wins this arduous campaign,” a beaming Ms. Kangethe intimated.

Worrying as the figures on HIV/AIDS prevalence in KWS might look, no effort should be spared and especially on the area of avoiding new infections and more so, in the distribution of drugs to those of us who are infected.
