Antiretroviral treatment has allowed me to live my dreams and raise my children

The Daily Vox Jenny Boyce, a 48-year-old from Mariannridge, Durban was one of the very first patients at the Aids Healthcare Foundation’s Ithembalabantu Clinic in Umlazi, since it started rolling out free HIV/AIDS treatment in 2001. She told the Daily Vox about her journey since she was first initiated on the antiretroviral treatment 14 years ago. I was initiated on the antiretroviral (ARV) treatment in March 2002 and I am patient number 21. I have loved being part of the Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF) family; the treatment programme came at a time where there was no treatment in this country and we were desperate to live.

AHF campaign aims to empower women, keep girls in school

This year, the event will be marked under the theme A Necessity, Not a Luxury. Menstrual Hygiene Day is observed worldwide on May 28 and was first launched by advocates in 2014 to highlight the importance of menstrual hygiene management education that empowers girls to fully participate in society and live a healthy, self-determined life. “AHF country teams around the world have exciting and informative virtual and in-person [where possible] ‘A Necessity, Not a Luxury!’ commemorative Menstrual Hygiene Day events planned for 2021,” AHF said in a press release obtained by The Post on May 23. The press release said poor menstrual hygiene management restricts the mobility, freedom and choices of young women and girls everywhere. It affects attendance and participation in school and community life and further compromises their safety, causing stress and anxiety.

Swaziland and HIV: Redrawing what it means to be a man

‘Where are the men?’ As 300,000 Swazis currently face hunger as a result of Swaziland’s worst drought in 18 years, Mswati’s wives and a 100-strong entourage enjoyed a nearly $1m summer holiday to Orlando, Florida. Mswati is often accused of reinforcing a patriarchy that oppresses women and keeps them chasing after “blessers” – older men who exchange gifts, school fees or other forms of payment for sex. The fact that the highest rates of HIV are among young women  – more than one in 10 females aged 15-24 are living with HIV – and men some 10 years their senior suggests this “blesser” culture may be exacerbating the spread of the virus.
