Addis Abeba — A summit comprising people living with AIDS, AIDS commissioners, representatives from governments, development organizations and UN has endorsed a radical plan to end AIDS especially in Sub Saharan Africa, according to Oxfam.
Meeting under the aegis of the global citizen summit in Nairobi from May 27- 29 and representing 32 nations of the world, the citizens endorsed a HIV universal testing plan, the WHO/UNAIDS proposed Provider Initiated Testing and Counseling, increased accountability on HIV funds and sustainable financing for HIV response strategies.
"Many people in Africa know about their HIV seropositivity when they are too ill and their immunity already compromised, Africa cannot therefore afford to continue arguing about tactics of tackling HIV and AIDS when the issue for testing is raised", Wasai Nanjakululu, Oxfam's Director, for Global Centre of Learning on HIV and AIDS said in a media release Monday.
"What is needed is a decisive strategy to stop new infections," he said Calling for a new approach to promote safe sex, access to testing, medication and empowerment, the summit said the ABC approach had failed to stop new infections, resulting from non consensual sex especially among women and it alienated children already born with the virus, according to Oxfam.
"The church too must think differently and if safer sex is the way to go, so be it..." the media statement quoted Archbishop of the Anglican Church in Kenya, Benjamin Nzimbi as saying during the summit's closing ceremony.
The citizens also called for Aids responses to be integrated into a better resourced primary healthcare system and better coordination of HIV resources by the government.
Oxfam said the summit called for donors to channel their Aids funds through the professional, non-ideological Global Fund which also has representatives from the Northern and Southern governments as well as the civil society organizations." Bilateral mechanisms' decisions which some donors have resorted to instead of supporting Global Fund are shrouded in secrecy as there is no representation in the decision making structures of bilateral aid agencies, the communiqué stated," it said.
The summit also called for publishing of accounts by both international and local civil society organizations to be part of the new code of non-governmental organization's practice to promote transparency and accountability, Oxfam said.
For every 2 people put on ARVs 5 people are newly infected, nearly 30 years into the epidemic, 80 to 90% of the people living with HIV do not know their status, Oxfam said adding out of 53 countries in Africa only two (Botswana and The Gambia) had lived to the promise to allocate 15% of their budget to health.

Sounds fresh and resolute. But I would be weary of seeing the Global Fund as a panacea- as for any other Global Health Initiative, it has proven to distort national policies, distract governments away from long-term systems strengthening, and give a strong push in the back of re-verticalisation of planning, management and M& E. The last issue of Health Policy and Planning sheds more light in this in an article from Biesma and others.
Wake Up Black Africans They ( D-Evil ) Want Us Dead !

HIV Aids - INVENTING THE AIDS VIRUS BY DR. PETER DUESBERG In his book he states that the so-called drug AZT was developed to kill T-Cells. T-Cells are what our bones need to make marrow.
Don't buy the hype..there is no AIDS!!!
PETER DUESBERG [ http://hiv-aids-factorfraud.com/ ] #2306 THE AIDS MAVERICK via Tony Browns Journal
Virologist Dr. Peter Duesberg emerged as one of the scientific communitys brightest talents when he discovered the viral gene that can cause cancer. This program examines his research and his controversial stance on AIDS that nearly destroyed his career

Jesus Christ said Except those days (of tribulation) be shortened , no flesh should be save . There are sinister forces at work, especially in Black Africa, trying to destroy us by HOOK or CROOK.
BY HOOK - Dr. Boyd E. Graves discovered the existence of a U.S. government- manufactured killing virus designed to kill Black People. It is called AIDS.
1. This manufactured AIDS has a cure that the persons who developed it hold the patent on.
2. Just Search using Dr. Boyd E Graves as a search word.
BY CROOK Dr. Peter Duesberg discovered that another form of AIDS was actually old diseases like pneumonia ( and other common diseases) which was renamed AIDS.
1. This so-called form of AIDS actually doesnt exist.
2. But since the persons falsely-diagnosed to have this imaginary form of AIDS are treated with drugs like AZT , they tend to die from. The treatment.
3. AZT was developed in 1958. It was developed to kill T-cells ; our source of life (the marrow in our bones ).
4. Also Search using Dr.Peter Duesberg , author of Inventing The Aids Virus
SO BEWARE OF THE AIDS GAME WITH YOUR LIFE AT STAKE.
And in the LAST DAYS, when sin is running rampant in the land, a FIERCE-LOOKING WISE KING shall come into power.
And his power shall be mighty. However The power he will have WILL NOT BE HIS OWN POWER.
And THROUGH HIS POLICY HE SHALL CAUSE WITCHCRAFT TO PROSPER.
And he shall magnify himself AND BY PEACE SHALL HE DESTROY MANY.
He shall also stand up againt Jesus Christ, but HE SHALL BE DESTROY by the brightness of Christs return.
[WHO'S AFRAID OF BEING THEMSELVES ALL THE TIME ? ]
[This inspiring poem was featuring in the movie Coach Carter ]
Our Deepest Fear Is Not That We Are Inadequate, Our Deepest Fear Is That We Are Powerful Beyond Measure. It Is Our Light , Not Our Darkness That Most Frightens Us.
We Ask Ourselves, Who Am I To Be Brilliant, Gorgeous, Talented, And Fabulous ?
Actually Who Are We Not To Be ? You Are A Child Of God.
Your Playing Small Doesnt Serve The World.
There Is Nothing Enlightened About Shrinking So That Other People Wont Feel Insecure Around You.
We Are All Meant To Shine, As Children Do.
We Were Born To Make Manifest The Glory Of God That Is Within Us.
Its Not Just In Some Of Us; Its In Everyone.
And When We Let Our Own Light Shine We Unconsciously Give Other People Permission To Do The Same.
And As We Are Liberated From Our Own Fear, Our Presence Automatically Liberates Others

(Nkosi Sikeleli Africa )
God bless Africa May her glory be lifted high Hear our petitions .
God bless us, Your children God we ask You to protect our nation Intervene and end all conflicts Protect us, protect our nation, our nation.
From the blue of our heaven, From the depths of our sea, Over our eternal mountain ranges, Where the cliffs give answer.
Sounds the call to come together, And united we shall stand, Let us live and strive for freedom, In South Africa our land.
