Abstract

When people who are inexperienced in the subject read about voluntary counseling and testing for HIV in Malawi, they are usually amazed at how far the intervention programs have gone and how many people have been tested. There should be no doubt on the success of HIV prevention, and support and mitigation programs on the African continent. A country like Malawi, with an estimated 1 million of the 13 million population infected with the virus, has so far enrolled 250 000 people in its HIV treatment programs. Knowledge on HIV and AIDS is almost universal among adults. This is certainly a major achievement for a nation that has lost a considerable number of its nurses via emigration to developed nations and was among the 10 poorest nations in the world until 2004, when it became the second fastest growing economy in the world.
