MALAWI: Project aims to put the brakes on spread of HIV/AIDS

In an effort to curb the spread of HIV/AIDS among truck drivers and sex workers, the World Food Programme (WFP) and TNT, a Netherlands based logistics company, have set up a counselling and treatment centre at Malawi's border with Mozambique.

The Wellness Centre, also supported by the Swedish International Development Agency and the Malawian Ministry of Health, provides counselling and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) to long-distance truck drivers and sex workers at the Mwanza border crossing.
