HIV/Aids education mobile portal launched

To provide the broadest section of the South African population with an easy-to-use, 24/7 and cost-effective encyclopedia on HIV and AIDS, Dr Brian Monaisa has launched an online education portal accessible via any WAP-enabled mobile phone. The service, Live Reality, is available free to anyone wanting to know more about this disease; the only cost is bandwidth. "When it comes to AIDS, sharing is not always easy as it is a very personal matter," explains, Monaisa. "Using a mobile phone as an educational device not only gets the information to more people, it also allows people to investigate and discuss this terrible disease in private without revealing their identity."
