In the history of AIDS, the country has
never reached a moment where Zimbabweans are able to stand up bold and say with
bravery that the end of AIDS is neigh.
It the country through collective action, resilience and courage has been able to at least try to step up efforts in fighting HIV/AIDS. In spite of the economic downturn that has stretched the AIDS response to its limits, thousands of lives have been saved, as HIV treatment and prevention efforts continue to show results.
Various organisations throughout the country have made new pledges—bold, tangible and realistic. These promises now must be delivered in every city, town, every community and to everyone in need.
But has the country come to a point that AIDS-free generation is possible and that no child should be born with HIV and no mother should die of AIDS.
The gulf between treatment and prevention has finished. Treatment is prevention. After all, they say prevention is better that cure!
The split between health and AIDS has narrowed, as AIDS comes out of separation and into incorporated and holistic health services. It is treated like any other disease that anyone has. As such, the positive AIDS response has surfaced the way for people-oriented health systems were discrimination has been cramped on.
