EU HIV/AIDS assistance

    JOHANNESBURG
    The European Union (EU) said it planned to assist Malawi police with their National HIV/AIDS Control Programme as one way of abating the spread of AIDS in the security forces. EU-AIDS Project field officer Peter Singongo told PANA news agency on Tuesday that the police had identified an HIV/AIDS coordinator who had been organising meetings and scrutinising policies within the police that might hinder success of the programme. "The EU already has six HIV/AIDS components in Malawi targeting traditional healers, the army and prisons since its AIDS programme was launched in 1993," he added.
