HIV/AIDS is an issue that affects future generations fundamentally. The discourse on how to access it seems s to have been pretty much left to health care and service providers to manage. No doubt, providing comprehensive health care to patient is the sure way, yet another effective way of fighting the disease is engaging all in ‘effective communication’ that does not only establish a medium through which issues are discussed but providing a therapeutic treatment to both affected and non-affected.
