Thanks to customers of The Co-Operative, The Co-Operative Pharmacy, Ethical Superstore, Amazon and P&H – where you can buy One® condoms – we have already funded over 80 days of outreach clinic work. And each day we screen and offer counselling to over 100 people. 

In 2008 alone over 10,000 people were tested for HIV. Those testing positive were referred to clinics to receive ARV (antiretroviral). And those testing negative were educated on how to stay negative. 

Currently, we are focusing our initial efforts in South Africa, where HIV/AIDS is affecting the most people. In fact, approximately 20% of the population are infected with HIV.  

Here’s where your money goes: 

• VCT planning & training
• Nurses for testing and follow-up
• VCT Counsellors
• HIV educational videos
• Materials to promote the VCT day.
