STORYLINE
On World AIDS Day 2018, marked every 1 December, UNAIDS said it was focusing on HIV testing with a new report showing that intensified testing and treatment efforts are reaching more people living with HIV.
The report said that three quarters of people living with HIV knew their HIV status in 2017, compared to just two thirds in 2015, and 21.7 million people living with HIV, or 59 percent, had access to antiretroviral therapy, up from 17.2 million in 2015.
Thobani Ncapai lives in Khayelitsha, a township in Western Cape Town in South Africa. He found out he was HIV positive in 1997. At the time he said he had no information about HIV and he was scared not to see his son grow up. He said most of the men in his community do not want to go for HIV testing “so it’s a huge problem in our communities.”
In 2001, he was losing a lot of weight and feeling sick. He became the first person in his hometown to start HIV treatment.
SOUNBDBITE (English) Thobani Ncapai, person living with HIV:
“We used to go without knowing that there were HIV clinics, men’s clinic, but now it’s better because if you don’t want to go to the clinic because there are a lot of women.”
Ncapai felt hope and now feels like any other person. Not only has he seen his son grow up but he’s also had a baby girl.
SOUNBDBITE (English) Thobani Ncapai, person living with HIV:
“My aim was to raise my son but now that I have a daughter, I wish I can raise my daughter up.”
HIV is preventable and if not treated it can lead to AIDS. Once a person knows their status, if it’s positive then antiretroviral treatment can be started immediately. Not only can a person live a long and healthy life by taking treatment every day, the virus also becomes nearly undetectable in a person’s blood and therefore the person no longer transmits HIV.
SOUNBDBITE (English) Thobani Ncapai, person living with HIV:
“Now that I am on HIV treatment I am no more afraid of dying because of HIV and AIDS. I am like any other people.”
Ncapai said he is concerned that not enough men and young people know their HIV status.
SOUNBDBITE (English) Thobani Ncapai, person living with HIV:
“It’s important to young people that they should be aware that HIV is still alive, they should protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases.”
UNAIDS said is the only way to know for sure if you have HIV. If you think you may have been at risk of acquiring HIV, it is important to find out your HIV status and start treatment as soon as possible if the result is positive.
The UNAIDS report titled "Knowledge is power” revealed that although the number of people living with HIV who are virally suppressed has risen by around ten percent in the past three years, reaching 47 percent in 2017, 19.4 million people living with HIV still do not have a suppressed viral load. To remain healthy and to prevent transmission, the virus needs to be suppressed to undetectable or very low levels through sustained antiretroviral therapy.
