World AIDS Day




Every year, World AIDS Day is recognized on December 1st. The goal of this day is to spread awareness and increase prevention of HIV/AIDS. Because there are so many people affected by this disease in Swaziland, (1 in 4 adults- the highest prevalence of HIV in the world) the message of World AIDS Day here is extremely important. Education regarding HIV for those at risk is the best way to stop the spread of this epidemic disease. 

HIV has led to a life expectancy in Swaziland of only 49 years, one of the world's lowest, a 15% population of orphans, and an increase of violence against women due to misconceptions about transmission and treatment such as the idea of "virgin cleansing*." Without education about the prevention of HIV/AIDS, the situation in Swaziland will continue to deteriorate. 


Thankfully, organizations such as PEPFAR (The U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief) are working to spread awareness and reduce the spread of HIV through clinics, media campaigns, etc. PEPFAR  is "the largest [commitment] by any nation to combat a single disease internationally." PEPFAR is working to set up sustainable, host country owned and driven, HIV prevention programs that link HIV with other health needs and intertwine multiple health-related programs.


So wear your red ribbon today, and speak up for HIV/AIDS awareness.




*Virgin cleansing refers an idea, widely spread throughout Africa, that if a male infected with HIV engages in intercourse with a virgin that he will be cured of his affliction. This most often occurs by means of rape.

    2. Hello Friends I have something to share with you!!! There is a great joy in my heart which I want to share with everyone. My name is Lisa. I had a misunderstanding with my lover (Boyfriend) several months ago; which led us to break up and he never wanted to hear my voice again. But as time went on, a good friend of mine recommended Doctor dada who could help me with Love Spell to get my man back. At first, I thought the idea of a love spell was strange,but was willing to give it a try because i really love my boyfriend. For the first time I was scared to contact the Doctor because I was not sure if what they did was against my religion. But my friend assured me that they only use Spell which is safe and has no side effects. I felt a little better and decided to contact Dr. dada on his mail (dadariver.shrine@gmail.com) I contact him i was so suprise and my ex boyfriend really come back to me i am very happy to day with my lover,i want to thank dr dadariver.shrine@gmail.com who help me today contact him for help he we all so help you tool,

  4. My Name is mr Maxwell. I will love to share my testimony to all the people in the forum because i never thought i will have my girlfriend back and she means so much to me. The girl i want to get marry to left me 4weeks to our wedding for another man. When i called her she never picked my calls, She deleted me on her face book and she changed her face book status from married to Single...when i went to her to her place of work she told her boss she never want to see me. I lost my job as a result of this because I cant get myself anymore, my life was upside down and everything did not go smooth with my life...I tried all i could do to have her back to all did not work out until i met a Man when i Travel to Africa to execute some business have been developing some years back. I told him my problem and all have passed through in getting her back and how i lost my job...he told me he going to help me...i don't believe that in the first place. but he swore he will help me out and he told me the reason why my girlfriend left me and also told me some hidden secrets. I was amazed when i heard that from him. he said he will cast a spell for me and i will see the results in the next couple of days. Then i travel back to US the following day and i called him when i got home and he said he's busy casting those spells and he has bought all the materials needed for
    the spells, he said am going to see positive results in the next 2 days that is Thursday...My girlfriend called me at exactly 12:35pm on Thursday and apologies for all she had done ..she said, she never knew what she's doing and her sudden behavior was not intentional and she promised not to do that again. it was like am dreaming when i heard that from her and when we ended the call, I called the man and told him my wife called and he said i haven't seen anything yet... he said i will also get my job back in 3 days time. and when its Sunday, they called me at my place of work that i should resume working on Monday and they will compensate me for the time limit have spent at home without working. My life is back into shape, I have my girlfriend back and we are happily married now with kids and i have my job back too. This man is really powerful. if we have up to 20 people like him in the world, the world would have been a better place. He has also helped many of my friends to solve many problems and they are all happy now. Am posting this to the forum for anybody that is interested in meeting the man for help you can mail him to DR.ABEGBESPELLHOME@GMAIL.COM +2348142729958 I can’t give out his number because he told me he doesn’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world.

  8. I was been suffering hardshiply from HIV/AIDS since 9yrs now, and i happen to have 2 kids for my husband, and now we cannot proceed to have another kids all because of my disease and now i have do all what a human like i and my husband can do just to get my disease healed, i have went to several places to seek for help not even one person could ever help, until i melt a comment on the daily news paper that was commented by Miss Marilyn about how this powerful traditional doctor help her get cured of the disease (HIV-AIDS) " my fellow beloved" i firstly taught having a help from a spiritual traditional healer was a wrong idea, but i think of these, will i continue to stress on these disease all day when i have someone to help me save my life?" so i gather all my faiths and put in all interest to contact him through his Email address at nativegodsspelltemple@gmail.com , so after i have mailed him of helping get my disease cured, i respond to me fast as possible that i should not be afraid, that he is a truthful and powerful doctor which i firstly claimed him to be. So after all set has been done, he promise me that i will be healed but on a condition that i provide him some items and obeyed all his oracle said. I did all by accepting his oracolous fact and only to see that the following week doctor ugbosa mail me on my mail box that my work is successfully done with his powers, i was first shocked and later arise to be the happiest woman on earth after i have concluded my final test on the hospital by my doctor that i am now HIV- Negative. My papers for check are with me and now i am happy and glad for his miraculous help and power.
    With these i must to everyone who might seek for any help, either for HIV cure or much more to contact him now at these following email now,
    Email: nativegodsspelltemple@gmail.com
    " sir thank you so much for your immediate cure of my disease, i must say for curing my disease, i owe you in return. Thanks and be blessed sir.
