"Yes I have HIV" tv show gets a Zimbabwean version
Zimbabwe is going to have its own version of the
show “ Yes I have HIV” launch on the DSTV, Honey channel in June.
The show will FOCUS on people living with HIV,
providing insight into the challenges and success faced by these people on a
daily basis.
“This will be a fascinating and inspiring series
and it will help remind us all that there are many people living with HIV who
need our support and encouragement,”said Liz Dziva, MultiChoice Zimbabwe
spokespersons as she made the announcement.
The show’s host is going to be Phyllis Mavushe,
who was born with HIV and who believes the show will make a difference in the
community.
“Phyllis is the perfect fit for a show which helps
people share their HIV-positive status with their loved ones for the first
time. She meets with each person to find out about their individual journeys
and learn how they contracted the virus. Then she brings in an expert to help
families face the truth and find ways of living positively with the disease,”
added Dziva.
Phyllis is among a group of young people trained
by Africaid Zvandiri in Zimbabwe to become community adolescent treatment
supporters, and has demonstrated a passion for being a strong role model for
her peers.
She has also worked to ensure that her
peers do not face delays in accessing HIV testing or being initiated on ART
programmes, as well as making sure they are linked to community services.
Yes I have HIV will be showing Sundays 7.30pm on
Honey Africa channel DStv.
