Our organization is working on a training project of its members and other journalists to fight stigma and bring on board other journalists living with HIV/AIDS who are shying away because of stigma. We expect to arrange a training programme for 10 of our members and 20 other journalists who will come from various media houses. The idea is to train them on language use when writing stories on HIV/AIDS. Experience has shown that the fight against HIV/AIDS is difficult because of stigma whereby people hesitate to come out for voluntary counseling and testin for fear of being noticed by friends, love ones, relatives, and workmates at Care and Treatment Clinics or centres. This is a setback to the national efforts in responding to the pandemic. Journalists have a big role to play in this endeavour and a training project of this kind would be beneficial to the nation. We are looking for funders to embark on the project. Zephaniah Musendo published a novel titled 'Prisoner' with Amazon Kindle on October 31, 2012 based on his experiences in prison.
