National VCT Day: 2011 marked the two year anniversary for the annual celebration
of National Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT) in Zambia. June 30th saw a team from
Tiny Tim and Friends marching in the streets of Matero Compound in Lusaka with many other
health organizations from Lusaka all joined in broadcasting the message "Get Tested Together,
Get Tested Today". The goal of the event each year is to publicize and normalize HIV testing
and to diffuse how important it is for people to know their own HIV status. We were joined by
the Center for Infectious Disease Research Zambia (CIDRZ) at the Matero Community Center
where TT&F tested just over 60 individuals from the Matero community as well as supporters
of the event from fellow organizations.
Providing educational, vocational and nutritional support for HIV+ orphans, vulnerable children and pregnant women in Zambia.
