Focus on community HIV testing
18 Dec 2009
Whenever Paula Muzirikani was approached by an outreach worker and asked about taking an HIV test, she would say: "I'll go - when I get the time" - until one day she fell seriously ill and had to be admitted at Charing Cross Hospital. A serious fever and sore throat left her bed-ridden for four days. On the fifth day, she felt well enough to phone the outreach worker. "I wish I'd taken your advice and visited the clinic. I'm calling from the hospital; I have been badly off for a few days and, guess what, I've taken the test from here. I'm positive!"
