FAQ’s
1. Q. Who should get tested?
- If you are sexually active or thinking of becoming sexually active then you should get tested.
13. Q. Are there different tests available?
- There are different tests, namely the Rapid Test which is done on site (results in 15 minutes) and the Elisa Test where your blood is drawn by a sister and sent to a laboratory for testing/confirmation.
19. Q. I am 43, have been married twice, and have had five or six sexual partners. Should I get tested?
- Everyone should get tested! Without a test you DO NOT know your status.
22. Q. Does it matter if both partners have HIV and don’t practice safe sex?
- Yes. The viral load (amount of HIV) in a person’s blood can be increased by having sex with an infected partner, which means damage to the immune system is speeded up. Also, it is possible for a person with HIV to become re-infected with a different strain of HIV.

GREAT!!!
I have been privileged to win a return ticket from Kulula.com and http://www.forgood.co.za to any destination in SA. #kululaforgood
I have chosen to make that destination Cape Town (where else!!) and would like to share my good fortune by offering an excellent speaker rate to SIX companies if you are perhaps planning a Health & Wellness Day prior to World AIDS on the 1st December.
I would like the opportunity to create awareness and share information as well as on how I am living a ‘positive’ life .
I have been actively living with the virus for nine years, survived numerous challenging health issues ………..and live to tell the tale.
The provisional dates planned to visit Cape Town is the 9, 10, 11th October, failing that the subsequent dates will be 23rd, 24, 25th Oct 2013.
If you are interested please contact me for more information.
Regards
Cindy
