The Times They Are A-Changin'?
I hope the stigma surrounding AIDS in Africa is starting to change. Nelson Mandela recently announced that his son died of AIDS saying, "Let us give publicity to HIV/Aids and not hide it." (The BBC has a good article Here).
A fellow South Africa Pilgrim also sent in an article about a group of South African prisoners who successfully fought for the removal of restrictions on access to AIDS medication in Durban's Westville Prison (Article is Here).

I hope you are right about the changing attitudes in africa. The people and the governments of Africa must change the way they look at the AIDS epidemic, or they will never be able to get the proplem under control. I hope that Mandela's recent comments will help facilitate the change.
God Bless Nelson Mandela
