I just spoke with Professor Orago, Director, National Aids Control Council, and he has informed me oral testing is now approved for HIV/AIDS testing in Kenya. That is good news. I believe more people will be willing to test using the oral method. I want to recognize all those who helped Kenya with accepting oral testing starting with David Whithers, Director, Recovery Consultants. He personally came to Kenya and conducted oral testing iniatives. And we want to thank Joseph our friend from South Africa. Nick and Charles from Community Transformers were involved in all the oral testing iniatives including the one in Marsabit. Many Partners for Care staff including Ann and Pricilla, VCT counsellors helped with the 14 oral testing iniatives conducted. Professor Orago said they are ready to run and want to test 8 million people. I told him Partners for Care is ready to help fight HIV/AIDS anyway we can.
