The MEC of Health in the Northern Cape, Mr Mxolisi S Sokatsha, would like to take this opportunity to announce the provincial launch of the Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) Week starting on 28 September to 2 October 2009.
During the week, everyone across the province is urged to visit their nearest health care facility to voluntarily get tested for HIV. The testing process will consist of pre-test counselling, testing and post-test counselling.
The theme of the VCT Week is: ‘Know your status, lead and unite’
The VCT Week is a build up to the national partnership against AIDS event which will be hosted by the Northern Cape Province on 9 October in Kimberley.
