The MSD Interpharma HIV Team provides support for the development
and implementation of comprehensive HIV/AIDS strategies that
are conducted in partnership with many different national
programs, with private sector entrepreneurs, and
with bilateral organizations. Through their newsletter,
the Team
would like to share with you the lessons they have learned
from these projects and activities.
The
best form of defense is attack!
This
claim triggered the individual commitment of a 45-year-old
agricultural technician to fight against HIV/AIDS, transforming
him from an HIV positive person into an active protagonist
of an HIV/AIDS committee in a rural area of Côte
d'Ivoire.
To stay
fit and healthy in order to guarantee his earnings and consequently
ensure a decent future for his nine children, is a
daily challenge for this technical expert. The HIV Solidarity
Fund, that the National Agency for Rural Development
and Support in Côte d'Ivoire (ANADER) is offering to
their employees and their families, is helping him overcome
the burden of the illness and remain productive in his job.
