We are gathered here today to commemorate World AIDS Day which coincides with the government led campaign of 16 Days of Activism of No Violence Against Women and Children. A recent UN report on the global trends of HIV and AIDS infection rates, does not give a bright picture of the spread of HIV and AIDS globally. The Department of Correctional Services, if seen as a microcosm of society, inevitably shares similar challenges in managing HIV and AIDS amongst members and offenders. [highlighted result]
