PIUMA launches twenty-village HIV testing blitz

The following report and testing schedule for more than 20 villages was received from Elisabeth Zenz, EAWM communications link with PIUMA in Tanzania:

Hello dear friends,

In connection to the government's target of testing as many people as possible, national, regional (target about 80 000) and in the districts (target 11870), Piuma decided to take action.

Since July the President launched the campaign of testing as many people as possible. It has already reached many regions. Njombe two weeks ago, last week Makete town.

To reach the target of testing about 11870 people in this district, Piuma supports the process with going to about 20 villages within 2 months.

From 13. 10. 07- to 2. 12. 07.

The PIUMA campaign was launched this Sunday at the PIUMA testing centre in Bulongwa.

In the PIUMA- committee meeting it was decided, that for each village there should be chosen one main representative and other PIUMA members (depends), one or two counselors (eventually hired by AMREF), one driver.

The program will include teaching, awareness video and testing.

Tomorrow we will start in IMEHE with a hired car.

Here attached the Timetable

Many regards to all

Elisabeth
