Harare, 10 sep (EFE).-the Government of Zimbabwe wants to carry out a campaign of analysis of the virus of human immunodeficiency (HIV, cause AIDS) “door to door”, a measure drastic that it seeks to reduce the rate of prevalence of the virus in this country, one of the largest in the world.
In statements published today by the State daily The Herald, Zimbabwean Minister health, Henry Madzorera, said to be “innovate and find new angles” to tackle the problem, such as campaigns to find out if you are infected by HIV and House by House, analysts so far are optional.
