Madagascar could win the race against AIDS. With a seropositivity rate of under 3 percent, people still have the opportunity to protect themselves and their families from HIV/AIDS. How can we make this happen? Well, first people need to believe that AIDS exists and is a serious illness, then people need to believe it exists in their country, then their region and, eventually, that it may well exist in their community. Once people know it exists, they need to know how to protect themselves and how and where to get tested. Then they need to have available testing. Education, education, education -- it may well be the most vital component in the race against AIDS.
