PRESIDENT Festus Mogae says at least half of the people who die natural deaths in Botswana do so from Aids-related diseases, adding that he hoped more people would take HIV tests and feel able to discuss a positive result as a way of destigmatising the disease. “We cannot plan our future without accommodating the impact of HIV/Aids. We must remember that the fight against HIV/AIDS is a mission to stay alive,” Mogae said. – AFP
