Mining Weekly reports that major miners Anglo American and Harmony Gold have pledged their support for the United Nations' HIV/Aids organisation UNAids’ global #ProTEST HIV campaign.
The campaign is aimed at positively contributing to the goal of ending HIV/Aids by 2030, by highlighting the importance of voluntary HIV testing, which is a critical intervention to help link care and support for those infected with HIV and other prevention programmes. At the twenty-first International AIDS Conference, being held in Durban, AA CEO Mark Cutifani on Monday said the company’s partnership with UNAids would assist in achieving the first HIV-free generation by 2030. Meanwhile, Harmony CEO Peter Steenkamp said: “The UNAids #ProTEST HIV campaign gives added impetus to our efforts to combat HIV/Aids. While we have made progress at Harmony in fighting the disease, we cannot be complacent as much remains to be done.”
