Malawi wants sexually active citizens to take HIV test

Malawi's government is calling on every sexually active Malawian to take an HIV test. Health officials estimate that only 15 per cent of those eligible have had an HIV test and know their status. Around 14 per cent of the population is believed to be HIV-positive. Malawi's president Bingu wa Mutharika has made the fight against HIV and Aids one of his country's highest priorities.
