Video clipThe 2004 HIV prevalence rate amongst teachers was 12.7 percent, which roughly equates to 45 000 educators out of a group of about 356 000. HIV is clearly a huge problem amongst teachers. We speak to HIV positive teachers about there lives and we look at how the Tshepanga Trust helps to provide access to treatment. We were also joined by members of the HSRC and the Department of Education to discuss problems and solutions involving teachers and HIV.
