World AIDS Day: Dr Devarshni Reddy

--:--
World Aids Day falls on 1 December annually when people from around the world unite to show support for people living with HIV and to remember those who have died from Aids-related illnesses.

World AIDS Day also serves as an important reminder that we must remain determined in our commitment to prevent new HIV infections and provide essential services to all people living with HIV globally.

The theme for World Aids Day this year is “Let Communities Lead”.

Some numbers quickly: Fewer people contracted HIV last year than at any point since the rise of the disease in the late 1980s, according to a UNAIDS report.

Last year also saw around 630,000 people die from AIDS-related illnesses, the lowest level since a peak of 2.1 million in 2004.

So it looks like we’re making progress.

To discuss all of this in a little more depth as well as everything else about the virus, Carol spoke to good friend of the show and popular Durban general practitioner, Dr Devarshni Reddy.
