Supreme court judge launches book on AIDS experience

    JOHANNESBURG

    Supreme court judge Edwin Cameron, the only South African public office bearer to declare his HIV status, has released a book on his experience of the disease.

    In his book, "Edwin Cameron - Witness to AIDS", the judge discusses related issues, including stigma, sexual orientation and the government's response to the pandemic.

    According to the South African Broadcasting Corporation, Cameron said the national rollout of free anti-AIDS drugs at public hospitals was making the disease manageable.
