World AIDS Day: Zuma to test for HIV on World Aids Day
Trial SA vaccines bring new hope as South Africa marks World Aids Day with greater hope than ever before.
President Jacob Zuma will be tested for HIV, and his health minister, Aaron Motsoaledi, has committed himself to doing the same soon, breaking with the previous government's hands-off approach to the epidemic.
But there is also hope in the encouraging results of tests of two South African-developed HIV vaccines that scientists believe will soon save lives.
