Using Text Messaging to Fight the Spread of HIV/AIDS |
|

|
A collaboration between Aids Information Centre , Text to Change and Celtel Uganda has produced a novel approach to providing the citizens of Uganda with information about HIV/AIDS prevention. The program will target younger cell phone users because of their disproportionate use of cellular technology and their general ignorance of the disease and its infection pathways. The program also aims to increase voluntary testing and counseling. In a country where 1.1 million are infected and a region of the world where 61% of the population is infected, this program could not be more timely or resourceful [1].
